Title: In the Shadows of the City
Artist: Harper Monette
Artwork Description:
This piece explores the isolation and anonymity individuals experience amidst rapid urbanization.Though surrounded by crowds, the solitary figure symbolizes the fading sense of individual identity in the ever-expanding structure of the modern city.
The ambiguous objects floating in the sky reflect the uncertainty and anxiety present in contemporary society, while the cracked pavement signifies the gradual breakdown of social structures.
The streets of the city represent progress and growth, yet as we follow these paths, we are confronted with the dissolution of personal identity and the truths tied to it.
This artwork underscores the social issues of disconnection and anonymity brought about by urbanization and technological advancement, posing the question of how individuals lose their place within societal structures.
