In the dark bamboo forest, deep within the heart of Japan, a spherical structure slowly rises from the loose, fertile ground. As this mysterious orb ascends, it gradually shifts your perspective of the world around you. This artwork invites you on an introspective journey, where the small wonders of life enrich your day and offer a new insight into the magic of the everyday.

<p>Imagine this: the alarm no longer rings at 7 a.m. because you have to go to work, your inbox isn’t overflowing with urgent emails, and the clock no longer dictates how your day unfolds. It’s a future that sounds like a dream to some, but like an uncertain abyss to others. What happens to us when automation and artificial intelligence (AI) give us more and more time by taking over our work?</p> <p>For me, free time has never been a matter of boredom. I can entertain myself well with my own thoughts, inspired by podcasts, audiobooks, and the world around me. Yet I see how difficult it can be for others to fill their free time, especially when the boundary between work time and leisure time blurs. That creative process, which is a source of joy for me, seems like an impossible task for many. And that worries me.</p> <p>During the COVID-19 lockdowns, we already caught a glimpse of what can happen when people are granted abundant free time without structure or perspective. Some used this time to reinvent themselves, but many fell into a black hole, without purpose, without hope. Looking at the rapidly increasing impact of automation, such scenarios don’t seem far off. In this blog, I want to explore how we can embrace the challenges of abundant free time, mitigate the risks, and how creativity, craftsmanship, and community can help us in this process.</p>
This drawing is one out of six drawings, that together can infinitely be recombined while layed out next to one another: each drawing compliments and fits next to the unique content of the others. Making this a hybrid composable series.
