ALARM: Modern Age Griffin
2025 | Multi-Channel Interactive Installation | 1+5+1 Screen
"Rooted in mythological memory as a blend of power, wisdom, and intuition, the griffin has long been a guardian of the sacred and the unknown. Standing at the gates of ancient civilizations, it symbolizes both celestial authority and earthly strength. Today, it redefines its historical symbolism through digital means, becoming an alarm sensitive to the unseen signals of global crises, linking past archetypes to today’s fragile ecosystems.
Ignorance, drought, radiation, rapid consumption, and the loss of human values appear in the symbolic limbs of the cheetah, gorilla, raven, molok, and cockroach. Each animal carries meanings inherited over thousands of years and translates them into a language shaped by real-time data.
No longer just a mythological figure, the griffin folds layers of time, acting as both a warning of collapse and a symbol of solidarity, continuing to exist as a living alarm that calls humanity to awareness."
