Requirements Monster: Inside Out (An Artwork Note)
I created this painting in my teens, one of my first. Let’s call it “amateur art” (though it did get me into a prestigious art study program). It’s acrylic on a hand-stretched canvas. The picture just came to me, likely in a dream. I never knew what it actually was.
Observers found it unsettling, yet with a sense of creeping calm. Movement is missing, like a slow-growing leafy mass. The organic is also confused – feeling artificial and sharp.
I had theories that it was about ecological disaster. Or industry and cityscapes being reclaimed by vengeful nature.
But I now know it was a premonition. Of the digital to come. Of the world in which I would live, which was never even imagined at the time.
I never had a title for it until today… it shall now be officially named Requirements Monster. It is now alive in the virtual game of my story here.
As always, I hope you enjoyed this. Share if it provoked interest or feeling.
