Shared Core, Individual Layers

Artist Statement

Shared Core, Individual Layers is a digital artwork created on the premise that in a crowd, we can find many similarities and differences depending on the perspective and how deep we look. Our differences make us unique, but we can always find points of convergence with others. This digital artwork showcases these differences, including ethnicity, age, weight, gender, and skin color, but it also focuses on our shared core, metaphorically portrayed through the X-ray, which to the majority appears the same. With an X-ray vision, would we really see differences? The beauty of diversity in the crowd lies precisely in embracing differences and observing the similarities that unite us.
