Project description

Welcome to the "Smart Era"—where thoughts are zipped, copied, and pasted. No need for doubt, reflection, or memory anymore. Just plug in a cable, run the update, and your brain gets a shiny new version.


This print shows a human head cracked open, tangled with wires, thoughts rearranged like files, emotions optimized like code. Books aren’t read—they’re scanned. Ideas aren’t born—they’re downloaded.


And yet, fluttering inside, there’s a tiny butterfly—the last free thought.

She doesn’t understand “efficiency.”

She resists being sorted.

She flaps her wings in chaos, trying to keep a little warmth, a little messiness, a little soul that no algorithm can define.


This piece is a satire—and a quiet reminder:

If even the soul becomes data, can you still hear the flutter of your inner butterfly?
