About the artwork

This image manipulation captures the essence of polarisation, where facts get lost in the tumult of groupthink and contradictions. The image highlights the struggle between conflicting forces, represented by water and fire, which sometimes seem to dominate over truth. The manipulation casts a critical eye on the impact of ingroup/outgroup bias, where it is not about what you know, but which side you are on. This leads to a disturbing loss of objectivity and respect for factual information.

Victims of this polarisation are information sources that try to present objective data. Amid an abundance of information, real data seems to get lost and blurred in a sea of conflicting opinions and perspectives. The image challenges the viewer to think about the impact of polarisation on our society and the value of objective information in an age of division and conflict. It confronts us with the need to maintain critical thinking and embrace the facts, even amid an overwhelming flow of information.

In an interior setting, this image manipulation can spark an uncomfortable but important conversation about the role of polarisation in our society and the need for a more inclusive and rational approach to debate. This artwork is ideal for people who value profound, meaningful art that challenges the mind and provokes thought. With disposable income for high-quality artworks, these customers will surely appreciate the philosophical depth and aesthetic value of this image.
