Humans are cunning creatures, compelled to transform—from lifestyle to physical structure—in order to survive in an increasingly deteriorating environment. We may evolve in reverse, defying Darwinian progression, or like amphibians, adapt to life across land, sea, underground, and even other planets. In this work, I sketched on steel plates, cutting and welding metal to construct an artificial body. Yet as our existence continues, our living environment grows ever more polluted. The oceans that once shimmered blue beneath sunlight are now darkening into murky hues, obscured by smog and atmospheric decay.

By using materials such as iron and transparent glass to refract, transmit, and reflect light, I sought to alter what meets the human eye—dyeing these organisms with colors of the sky and sea that hover between the real and the virtual. The hues seem to reside within the bodies themselves, only to vanish in an instant.

In our rapidly developing and ever-changing society, perhaps everyone feels some measure of anxiety or fear about the future and their own existence. Artificial intelligence, as a self-learning system, resembles an ancient oracle—predicting near-future possibilities and probabilities through data. The Book of Future Revelations emerged from asking ChatGPT, “Please give humanity some advice for the future.” The resulting book compiles these answers into one volume. Viewers close their eyes, open a random page, and encounter the AI’s response. Some passages quote real historical figures; others are entirely fictional. Yet the reader, in that moment, accepts every word as an undeniable truth.
