Efficiency’s Blur (2018, London) distills a contemporary psyche shaped by modernity and city tempo, where the demand for speed becomes a default setting. Layered, restless strokes surge forward, then break abruptly, echoing accelerated movement, multitasking, and perpetual switching. Against these dense collisions, stark pockets of white read as attention gaps, pauses that aren’t restful, but vacant, like dropped signals between people.
The composition points to what gets traded in the pursuit of efficiency: clarity, nuance, and the subtle cues that make relationships readable. In its push-pull of congestion and emptiness, the work frames modern life as both propulsion and erosion—progress measured in throughput, and intimacy thinned by momentum.
