With technology comes progress, and also with it comes clash. Humans are naturally resistant to change and struggles ensue. The battle itself is harsh, messy, and beautiful; and yet so are the combatants. For without evolution, we perish. And yet, without the proper restraint and resistance, we are misguided and vulnerable. “Contrasting Elements” is a snapshot of this battle. By using a combination of classic watercolors and modern digital brushes, we are able to see the beauty in both the old and the new as they grapple over the future.
