d_Kairos, 2020

Detail d_Kairos

d_Kairos confronts the impossibility of escaping time. At the bottom of the piece, two characters borrowed from the 1980s cartoon Cascarrabias are caught mid-run, as if fleeing from an inescapable force. Above them, the composition explodes into a field of signs: a newly imagined deity inspired by Quetzalcóatl, emojis as shorthand for digital emotion, and abstract glyphs that echo ancestral codices.

Where d_iOS introduced a contemporary divinity rooted in digital saturation, and d_Ether mapped the unseen spiritual dimensions of networks, d_Kairos embodies the urgency, anxiety, and comedy of trying to outrun time. The work operates as a kind of altar to the fleeting instant, where ancient archetypes and pop iconography collide in a shimmering surface of plexiglass, neon, and beadwork.

Here, time is not linear but cyclical, layered, and chaotic: a cultural and natural force that folds the past and present into a single, impossible now.
