Hello crew members of this spaceship called Earth! Are we approaching things like this in the future? The cultivation of our descendants in biomechanical matrices? The dietary, social and environmental influences of our species are slowly influencing the declining birth rate of healthy and long-lived beings, I believe that at some point we will be refining our DNA to modify defects, prevent disease and extend life by turning off the self-destruct clocks we all have in our cells. The development of AIs may at some point replace us in all aspects, we are left with the choice of either brutalizing ourselves as a sapiens species or dedicating ourselves to the cultivation of the spirit, while the machines do the rest. A very strange future, indeed. If the planet survives because of our own negligence, of course.
I had the idea of using a kind of flower like the one you see here to represent one of the possible futures of some intelligent race: the artificial reproduction of individuals. (The black and white versions and the initial ideas can be found here) When I make digital compositions I don't like to overload the canvas too much, I think I'm more oriented to a minimalism with some symbology, to send the message directly without deviations.
This work has two variants, in the main one I added a background like an old photograph or moistened paper. The second variant is just the montage without the background, even more minimalist, and the last one is the base photo. It is a mummified flower of a succulent, it fell before it was fully developed and I took advantage of it to take it as an object of study.
Thanks for the opportunity!
