Original artwork description:

A vibrant, complex composition teeming with symbols and references that traverse history and contemporary culture. The two central figures are a direct reference to the “Venus of Willendorf” figurine of a woman, estimated to be around 30,000 years old. Discovered in Austria near the village of Willendorf. The Venus bust refers to statue and depictions of the Roman goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. She is rendered with flowing lines and a calm demeanor, suggesting modern connectivity and the infusion of technology into daily life. Surrounding her are various objects and symbols—a fashion purse, flowers, a kilim, modern patterns, and cryptographic currency symbols like Bitcoin—each element echoing the theme of contemporary life and its intersections with history and culture.
