What will happen in 2012 is giving rise to wild speculation, and the idea of ​​the end of the world never goes out of fashion. Given all this speculation, I've been exploring this topic visually. And I keep asking myself, "When exactly is 2012?"

In the paintings "Fire in the City," "City Psychonaut," and "Mondstadt," I visualize our current situation. On the left is a shamanic world, and on the right, our Western civilization. These works express the hope that right will merge with left, that our technological way of life will merge with the magical and tribalistic.
