Digital Trinity: The Cross and the Virtual Door

Through these three photographs, I invite you to explore the different facets of our relationship with technological innovation, inspired by the three Dantean connotations of Inferno, Purgatory, and Paradise. The cross, symbolically formed by the door handle, serves as a visual and conceptual fulcrum, representing the intersection between our current world and future possibilities. The door symbolizes the choices we must face and the directions we can take on our technological journey. Inferno (Red Light): The intense red light represents Inferno, evoking a sense of danger and chaos. In this vision, technology is a double-edged sword that can lead to a dystopian future. The cross warns us of the consequences of power abuse, excessive surveillance, and the loss of privacy. It is a reminder to critically reflect on our technological choices and their ethical implications. Purgatory (White Light): The neutral white light represents Purgatory, a place of transition and purification. This vision symbolizes a path of reflection and adaptation, where society strives to find a balance between progress and responsibility. The cross becomes a moral reference point, indicating the need for a conscious and ethical approach to technology, addressing challenges, and learning from past mistakes. Paradise (Blue Light): The blue light represents Paradise, evoking a sense of peace and positive innovation. In this vision, technology serves the common good, improving quality of life and promoting sustainability. The cross symbolizes the realization of human potential through the mindful and benevolent use of technology, guided by ethical values and the desire to create a fairer and more harmonious world.
