The Evolution of the Modern Human

“Mutation” is a striking visual representation of the profound changes humanity has undergone throughout its evolution. This abstract piece, with its chaotic yet deliberate forms, speaks to the relentless march of time and the inevitable transformations that have shaped us.

The jagged, black lines cutting through the composition symbolize the fractures and disruptions in our history—moments when our species was forced to adapt, to mutate, in the face of unprecedented challenges. The splashes of gold and copper represent sparks of innovation, the flashes of insight and creativity that have propelled us forward, often in unexpected directions.

The background, textured and industrial, hints at the environments we’ve created and the technological landscapes that now define us. It is within these man-made worlds that the true mutation occurs—not in our genes, but in our minds, our cultures, and our very identities.

The piece posits a provocative idea: that the aliens we often imagine are not beings from distant stars, but the products of our own evolution. As we continue to change, both physically and psychologically, we are becoming something new—alien to our ancestors, perhaps, but familiar to ourselves.

*Mutation* challenges us to reflect on our journey and to consider what our ongoing evolution might hold. In this ever-changing world, what will the next mutation bring? Will we even recognize ourselves in the future we create?
