SAVE ME
SAVE ME
“Save Me” reflects the uneasy balance between modern existence and the quiet despair of city life. The grey, textured panels evoke an artificial sky suspended above a block of burning orange — a building, a home, or perhaps a cage. Two embedded keycaps, Shift and F12, reference the digital command to “save,” while subtly resembling vents or chimneys atop a structure, a nod to our compartmentalized, boxed-in urban lives.
The grey panels also reflect the shared, indistinguishable view of city dwellers — an artificial sky that replaces individuality and nature with uniformity. The black marks across their surface resemble anonymous stars, not guiding lights but signs of absence, hinting at our collective disconnection from something real.
Under UV light, the hidden Morse code for “M” and “E” illuminates like glowing windows at night, revealing a coded plea within the architecture: save me. The painting reflects the emptiness of consumerism and the longing to escape the structures we have built around ourselves, a commentary on how existential confinement shapes our sense of self and our desire for freedom.
