The Convergence Maps series was born from a long period of pent-up disquiet seeing how equity and freedoms are progressively eroding around the world while populism and sectarianism are on the rise.
In an age of unparalleled access to information why do we stay so stubbornly siloed, bound by innate tribalism, lured by partisan voices and drawn to the siren call of confirmation bias? Why do we find such comfort and strength within our corner of an increasingly polarised society? Why do we remain such easy targets to social media algorithms?
At first look, each painting appears like a pictorial map of a set of irreconcilable diverging voices and schisms. A closer read invites us to notice innumerable overlapping layers of confluence and connection wherein lies opportunity.
