Abstract:
|
We are in a world that is full of contradictions, arguments, antagonisms, and divisions. Yet, we have lived together with purpose since we first became Sapiens on this planet. In the 21st century, we have achieved long-term adjustment, collaboration, unity, and cooperation of an astonishing number of human beings (8 billion) on this planet. From the point of view of the biological chain of nature, we are interdependent and cyclic individuals, and with globalization, this has never been truer than it is today. Humans already have the research and intention of interplanetary migration. Since actual space travel in the 1960s, this has seemed ever more possible. Through his company Space X, Mars by Elon Musk is committed to developing exoplanet concepts of migration that will open the entire solar system, starting with Mars. The company is already planning to colonize Mars; this would significantly mitigate the possibility of human extinction. In the future, we may call each other according to the planet we inhabit, such as Earthlings or Martians, the tensions of national division and racial discrimination will be eased. Because we live on this planet called Earth with multiple nations and systems, but after interplanetary migration, we no longer have only one planet in the future, identical other planets also have the same people of various countries. In the end, human beings will take the planet as a group and establish a larger concept of domination, using the endless universe as a bearing space instead of our current concept of the Earth. This concept will bring human cooperation together better because it will require collaboration and negotiation between different nations. In a few years, the constitution or system that we have now will no longer be used for the needs of that period. Humankind will find that all opposites will eventually merge into something new. I combine abstract and imitative forms in a kind of decomposition of opposites in my paintings.
Keywords: unity of opposites, abstract, realistic, conscious, unconscious, real, illusory, surrealism, human community, visual.
