"Perish is about the belief that the future will embody the inevitable result of the human touch being minimized in many aspects of life and overtaken by technology. This decrease in materiality and physicalness is already seen current day because of how consumed and dependent humans are to technology. Technology-referenced by the static image of electronic imagery in the background- represents an ever-growing scientific innovation that seemingly encompasses the entire person in frame, alluding to what the future may hold. The human figure is created using charcoal with an emphasis on making the fingerprints prominent. This juxtaposition of the human touch of the fingers creating the figure, alongside the circuit visuals and glitchy movements is meant to convey the growing dominance of technology. The person in Perish symbolizes humanity and its possibility of being trapped into the grasp of being controlled by the science we created to better understand ourselves and the world we live in."
