Original artwork description:

“Net-Zero Energy” is a thought-provoking surrealist painting that explores the intersection of human identity, technology, and ideology. Painted in acrylics on stretched canvas, this original artwork depicts a naked woman curled into a fetal position—suspended within the glass chamber of an old-fashioned light bulb. From the bulb, crackling blue electrical discharges spread into the void, illuminating the figure in soft sepia and earthy browns against a pitch-black background.

With subtle yet evocative symbolism, the painting invites the viewer to reflect on the deeper implications of energy-neutral futures. Could the pursuit of net-zero lead to a dystopian world where humans are reduced to mere power sources—like batteries in The Matrix?

Rendered in a muted, limited palette, this piece fuses vulnerability and tension, questioning the cost of technological progress and the loss of human agency. A powerful, conversation-starting artwork for lovers of surrealism, conceptual art, and dark futuristic themes.
