During this lockdown, I've created some collage artworks based on pictures of me living in this world I already qualified as apocalyptic. I'm trying to denounce here how technology is killing us as much as a virus in a desktop, becoming the main actors of our own destruction. From different perspectives, you can see that other subliminal topics are involved in these collages like nature destruction, control of the government or even racism against Asian people. The purpose of this project is to take time to reflect on the current situation and show people how this is affecting us on the long-term.

I divided these artworks into 8 different phases :
- Stage 0: Welcome into the Matrix / Humans are entering into a new mysterious parallel world.
- Stage 1: Drowned by Technology / This world is called Technology. Humans are drowning in this digital world. It's slowly destroying and transforming them as a Sims puppet character manipulated by the media.
- Stage 2: Robots are leading humans down a path / Humans are now controlled by robots and are in a quest for always more innovation. They are becoming blind and can't see when and how it will ends.
- Stage 3: Introducing the virus on Earth / In parallel, Earth is governed by this superior system that can launch new diseases like HIV or Covid-19 in order to regulate the population. Obviously, media is controlled by this hidden entity, and nothing can be proved.
- Stage 4: Human eating the virus / Humans are everyday eating this Technology like a virus or GMOs' Monsanto products. 
- Stage 5: Virus burning the human / These products are destroying humans from the inside.
- Stage 6: A worldwide fight / Humans must fight this virus. Asian people must fight for their image too, destroyed by racism over the world when the pandemic began.
- Stage 7: Nature destiny / With this worldwide quarantine, Nature is taking back its rights. But on the long term, we can see that it remains damaged by radioactivity. Nature is and continues to be destroyed by these evil people called Humans.
- Stage 8: RIP / In this final stage, Humans are dead and put into a futuristic respiratory machine. They are trapped in this chaotic Matrix they have created, but it's too late.

For stages 3, 4 and 7 I've created small motion design videos to animate it. You can check my Instagram to see the constructions I'm making with these artwork or my website to check my full portfolio as a graphic designer, model and entrepreneur.

I hope you'll like it :)
