In this artwork, the scene unfolds like a captivating panel from an Indian comic book, blending elements of futuristic dystopia with the timeless struggle of consciousness and choice.

At the forefront stands a formidable robot; a mechanized entity embodying the realm of artificial intelligence, offering a seemingly reassuring message amidst the existential uncertainty.

Flanking the robot are two individuals, each holding a jar of pills that symbolize divergent paths of enlightenment. On one side stands a man clutching a jar of blue pills, representing the seductive allure of conformity and the comfort of ignorance perpetuated by societal conditioning. Opposing him is another figure, distinguished by a yellow halo, presenting a jar filled with red pills. These crimson capsules signify awakening, embodying the raw essence of curiosity and the relentless pursuit of truth, as depicted in "The Matrix" film series.

In the background, looming demi-gods cast their watchful gaze over the unfolding tableau, hinting at the unseen forces that shape the destiny of mortals and machines alike. Their presence adds an air of mysticism and cosmic significance to the scene, underscoring the gravity of the choices being made by the protagonists.

Through its fusion of futuristic imagery and philosophical underpinnings, this composition invites viewers to contemplate the complexities of existence and the eternal struggle between conformity and enlightenment in a rapidly evolving world.

 

Each edition is a finely crafted piece of art, individually titled, numbered, and signed by Ketna Patel. Depending on the work’s nature, it is produced either as a C-Type print on Fuji gloss paper or as a Giclée print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper, both ensuring archival durability and suitability for diverse climates, including humid environments like Singapore. Prints are created at esteemed studios in London, Singapore, or New Delhi, using premium archival materials. Limited to 50 copies per size (150 total unframed), each is shipped carefully rolled in a poster tube. For a slick, glossy, contemporary look, the artwork is also offered as Acrylic or HD Metal prints, each limited to 25 per size. Acrylic prints are made on 5mm thick, 70% recycled glossy acrylic with a premium foil backing that amplifies colour richness and depth, framed in white, black, or natural wood. HD Metal versions utilize dye sublimation on scratch-resistant, waterproof aluminium, producing vivid, sharp images suited for indoor or outdoor display with a frameless floating effect. Both formats come with prefitted hanging systems and spacers for easy installation. Each piece is made to order with a 10-day production timeframe, ensuring exclusivity and meticulous record-keeping to prevent duplication.
