"A familiar phrase often used in the IT world when the machine throws unexpected twists or simply decides to do its own thing. This work embraces that playfulness and unexpected outcomes. The colour fields represent emotion and human sensitivity, while the two shades of grey forming the binary structures represent the precision and emotionless execution by the technology. Together, they create a harmonious visual language, suggesting that when technology is thoughtfully guided by humans, it can expand human creativity and transform an idea into extraordinary possibilities. The colour gradient symbolizes the evolving relationship between the artist and technology: the darker, richer tones represent the strong presence and emotional involvement of the artist, while the gradual fading reflects the increasing participation of the machine. The machine element is incorporated in the composition by introducing metal wire and shades of grey. During the cancer treatment I lost my sense of smell. Since then my relationship with colour has become even more heightened and emotional. I experience my surroundings through visual sensation, and flowers have become an important source of inspiration. Hence, my colour palette is inspired from vibrant hues. Before becoming a full-time artist, I worked as a software engineer for 6 years. Fascinated by the endless possibility to code and create, I considered all IT professionals as artists—using imagination and logic to build solutions that shaped our society. For years, I thought of whether there is a way to translate the language of technology into color and emotion. Hence this thematic body of work speaks to me to bring together the two worlds that have shaped my identity."
