Moths, 2024
Engraving, Mezzotint, Drypoint, Paper, Ink
The “Moths” engraving has two meanings. In this engraving, moths are depicted flying around and landing on a bright mobile phone screen at night. Drawn in by the artificial light. This scene serves as a metaphor for our own attraction to the glow of our mobile phones and smart devices.
I wanted to capture the duality of attraction and entrapment. Just as moths are drawn to artificial light, we are captivated by the constant lure of technology. The moths, seeking light, mirror our own behaviour as we lose ourselves in the endless scroll of social media and digital content. Addicted to our devices.
“Moths” blends beauty with introspection, offering a visual and thought-provoking commentary on our digital age. It serves as a reminder to be mindful of where we direct our attention, urging us to look beyond the screen and reconnect with the real world.
