An Oceanic Serenade

“Oceanic Serenade” depicts a man on a rocky beach staring at a bionic human with a mixture of steampunk machinery and natural elements growing on his head. The bionic human has a portal on the side of its head that seems to lead to a future version of the place where the man is located. In the future, instead of a grassy mountain across the water, there is a massive grey city, suggesting that the future is bleak and devoid of color. The bionic human with the mixture of steampunk machinery and natural elements growing on his head symbolizes the idea that the future is shaped by the choices we make today and that there is a balance between technology and nature. A portal reveals the idea that the future’s not set in stone and that there is the potential for change. The man’s contemplative gaze displays his awareness of the future’s potential consequences.
