Artwork description:

Black Mirror elements in Zeus XXI are also used in other artwork of The Epoch series (David XXI, Zeus XXI, Atlas XXI, Medusa XXI, Demeter XXI and Afrodita XXI). Black Mirror is a reference to smartphones’ and other gadgets’ black screens.

The artwork’s main visual accent is the image of Zeus and black emoji hearts in his nimbus. Zeus is blurred, indistinct and hardly discernible.

Half-emojis are intricately built into a mirror-like part of the artwork, forming an integral image through symmetric reflections of a half a heart. That’s a metaphor for integration, penetration of digital world into a Human everyday life.
