Wouldnt be the first time

Marie Winters, '15 BFA

This narrative piece is sourced from online databases and collaged into a fractured reality. The Internet is a graveyard of arbitrary images - a place of constant documentation past and present, foreboding images and exemplary tales. Speculation on the next 100 years is a vast and unpredictable question to answer. This painting is not based on scientific thought or literary criticism but on my personal pessimism about human nature. My work often discusses the recurring relationship between illness and poverty. I have witnessed the failings of the medical system, and this piece embodies the growing social stigma and the glorification of illnesses to come.
