2023 - 115cm x 118cm - oil on canvas, wood, wire, paper

This striking mixed-media work captures the tension between human presence and the relentless pace of modern technology. A monochrome figure, rendered in oil with classical precision, glides forward on an electric scooter, her steady motion contrasting with the fragmented, digital backdrop. The composition is dominated by red and green horizontal bars, evoking both digital glitches and the coded language of urban speed—traffic signals, data streams, and shifting timelines.

Above her, a glowing digital clock reads 23:06:3x, freezing a moment in time yet suggesting perpetual movement. Elements of wire break through the canvas, extending beyond its frame, emphasizing the pull of acceleration and the collapse of boundaries between the physical and digital worlds.

Acceleration reflects on how contemporary life is defined by velocity, technology, and the fleeting nature of the present, while grounding this condition in the intimate, human scale of a single individual navigating the city.
