The Children of Entropy Series

Nani has worked on digital imaging of philosophical topic of contemporaneity. She has named her new series of works as "The Children of Entropy". She is expressing people in this era (contemporaries) responding to changes in infinite entropy with the inception of the new norm era after the COVID-19 pandemic. Entropy, the degree of disorder in thermodynamics, refers to the quantity that represents the uncertainty of system. Not a single 'Certainty' is guaranteed for people living in the new norm era after the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, Nani thinks that the concept of entropy is the most appropriate to explain the contemporaries living in an era of uncertainty. We people must start to live in an era of infinite entropy, where nothing is certain where we can go, who we can meet, and what new things we can do. In the title of the work, Children refers to us people. As if everything in the world is unfamiliar to a new-born baby, modern people living in an era of infinite uncertainty are unfamiliar with the “New Norm” era. Through The Children of Entropy series, Nani expresses a new norm-like view of the world in various ways and provides imagination to comfort the unfamiliarity of the world. Series 1. The Birth of Eve, begins with the birth of a woman named Eve, the beginning of the worldview. In Series 2. Encountering of the Children, it is expressed as a mirror image showing the uncertainty of the New Norm era in human relationships. Her work is based on hybrid process of digital imaging, hand drawing, and serendipity. She draws and transfers to digital image repeatedly, until she finally picks one for her own will. She applies the final image on the computer program that the real final comes out to her, independent of her will. Through this work process she wants to express the Zeitgeist as adapting ourselves appropriate to the new norm.
