"Modern Paradise" is a multi-panel painting that explores the concept of paradise for a living being in our contemporary era while exposing the flaws of our society. Through varied scenes, the artwork illustrates how technology, consumerism, manipulation of nature, and individualism are perceived as pathways to happiness. However, each panel reveals the contradictions and illusions within these pursuits. By depicting disconnected, overworked, and isolated figures, the painting critiques our dependence on these artificial ideals and invites reflection on the true sources of happiness and well-being.
