PAIGE DAVEY It’s just a dinosaur?, 2022

The youth of today are experts at making the best of a bad situation. With this artwork, I aim to convey how the youth have become desensitised due to the number of atrocities they are exposed to through the internet and social media. Sustaining shock factor nowadays is a strenuous task but the intention behind this work is to celebrate the ability of Gen-Z to joke through yet another traumatic event. With reference to Jurassic Park, I have recreated the movie’s original subtle palette into more vibrant and brighter colours to reflect my generation’s habit of lightening tense situations.
