Future Present Archeologies
My work suggests an ironic return to Artemis of Ephesus, with her multiple protrusions, through our unconscious devotion to synthetic materials rather than spiritual practice. Phones can act as stand-ins for contemporary rosaries in capitalism's religion of consumption, where bodies are just another commodity to edit and control. I imagine how future civilizations might discover our modified bodies, just as we uncovered the preserved forms of Pompeii, witnessing how the very industrial chemicals intended to control nature have mutated us into synthetic abundance - bodies both becoming and morphing with industrial materials rather than symbols of natural power in a twisted turn echoing her ancient form.
