110 × 140 cmShort but intense sensory stimuli, fever caused by brain overload, cells gradually melt under the blue light, dopamine rushes through the veins of nerve. A lack of order almost like the vision of an agnosia patient.

Meta conjures a whimsical, hybrid space anchored by green-tiled flooring and an eclectic mix of airport-signage furniture, celestial forms, and curved monitors. At its center, a young girl with 1970s-style makeup gazes outward, beside a floating blue-and-white teapot above a wormhole-shaped table. Sunset hues and retro aesthetics dissolve the boundaries of chronology and trace, forming a collage that folds space and era into layered illusion—echoing the internet’s endless archive of references and reinvention.
