"Dwellers" is part of my lyrical abstract series titled "Liquid Civilisation," which draws inspiration from Zygmunt Bauman's theories on the fluidity of contemporary life. Dwellers are all of us, modern citizens of a multicultural fluid society, made of diverse resilient communities, never fixed or final, always merging and moving forward but within a shared history of adapting and innovating, between the foundations of freedom and that of intergenerational connection. This painting explores themes of identity formation and cultural diversity, guided by Bauman's belief that no hierarchy should exist among cultures. To reflect this philosophy, I avoided assigning dominance to any color, using all hues equally across the canvas. The color field and stained technique used in "Dwellers" emphasize the fluid nature of our identities, capturing the ever-changing landscape of human experience. Each layer on the canvas represents a different facet of life, celebrating diversity without imposing hierarchy or judgment. By embracing the full spectrum of colors, I created a visual metaphor that symbolizes the equality and richness of all cultures and identities. This piece invites viewers to immerse themselves in a world where colors blend seamlessly, transcending both cultural and visual boundaries. "Dwellers" serves as a celebration of diversity, echoing Bauman's call to reject hierarchies and recognize that every culture, like every color, contributes to the vibrant tapestry of our shared human experience.
