Beyond the circuit – an attempt to remain human
An image between technology and nature, between order and roots. A poetic attempt to remain human – to the rhythm of the machines.

Sometimes I ask myself:
If we build machines that think, what do we lose to ourselves?
This image emerged from a feeling of inner conflict.
The left half of the picture is precise, mathematical, cool.
A neural network of copper veins.
Polished logic.
Efficiency.
And yet it pulsates.
She lives.
This rhythm is seductive.
The right side is its opposite pole.
A forest in the fog.
Roots in chaos.
No direction.
No order.
Just depth.
Life.
A whisper from a time before we began to count.
In the middle a figure.
Half human, half digital.
Not intended as a symbol,
but as a condition.
She is me.
And maybe you too.
I call this work Beyond the Circuit.
It's an attempt to keep balance -
between technology and feeling,
between progress and roots.
Because if we digitize everything,
at some point we have to ask ourselves
whether our soul can still vibrate analogously.
