Bad Robot #1-172
BAD ROBOT visualizes the conflict between the system and the self. This chrome-armored figure, drawn from 80s techno-mythology, exists in a state of tense duality: powerful yet exposed, polished but alienated. The encroaching flora acts as a soft, persistent rebellion against its hardwired nature.

Through this collection, we examine the anatomy of identity under digital rule—the push-pull of code and conscience, and the longing for forsaken futures. BAD ROBOT embodies contradiction: a symbol of control that is itself uncontrolled, belonging universally yet without a place.
The work finds potent meaning in juxtaposition: the brutal with the delicate, structure with growth. It suggests that resistance is innate, sprouting from within the machine itself. Ultimately, BAD ROBOT uses the aesthetic of the past to question our path forward: In defining our future, what legacy do we accept, and what do we consciously reject?
