This artwork depicts an imaginary future cityscape of New York's Statue of Liberty occupied by robots and drones. In a recent Future Casting exercise, I imagined that "freedoms" ironically need to be watched to ensure civil liberties were observed, creating a tension and paradox between the two concepts.

This artwork is featured in Lil Diamond Smith's Book "Futurist: New York Edition." available on Amazon and Apple.

Futurist New York Edition collection image

Inspired by the 2022 poem of the same name by Lil Diamond Smith. The artwork portrays deftly drawn characters and caricatures, surprising comical delights amid the backdrop of the hustle of New York life. Using a range of approaches from expressionism to psychotropic nightmare fantasy, this collection evokes the essential humanity, well hidden as it is, of their generally ambitious, disillusioned, desperate characters who are trying to survive in a city that becomes increasingly more demanding. The collection specialises particularly in revealing the illusions about advanced digital life―a museum attacked by drones, a financier stressed to the point of fury and the statue of liberty circled by drones.
