In this conceptually provocative work, the artist updates the iconic trajectory of human evolution for the digital age, culminating in a striking symbol of absolute commercialisation.

The linear progression from primate to Homo sapiens reaches its terminal velocity not in biological advancement but in systematic dehumanisation as the final figure morphs entirely into a commercial barcode.

This graphic finale illustrates the ultimate destination of a society governed strictly by social media feeds and financial metrics: the reduction of the self into a transaction. The entire evolutionary line from the primate to the human and the final barcode is hand-gilded in gleaming copper leaf.
