Face to Face, is a silent cry about the fate of humanity, a ruthless confrontation between past and future, between classical beauty and technological decay. Michelangelo’s David, an eternal symbol of perfection and harmony, stands face to face with its unsettling evolution: a cybernetic version, mutilated by the need to survive in a hostile world, bound to an artificial existence.
The transformed figure is unrecognizable, suffocated by a cold exoskeleton, stripped of its humanity, forced to breathe through a gas mask. It is a dark omen: man, once proud of his flesh and soul, is turning into a depersonalized hybrid, a cog in the machine of relentless progress.
This is not a work that celebrates innovation, but a warning of what lies ahead: a future where technology, instead of elevating us, deforms us, making us slaves to our own creations. The original David stares at his dystopian counterpart with a silent expression—perhaps astonished, perhaps aware of what is inevitably coming.
Are we truly ready to sacrifice our essence on the altar of progress? Or, as this sculpture suggests, have we already crossed the point of no return?
