This artwork symbolizes humanity's evolving relationship with labor, aligning with the AI New Frontier theme. The journey begins with a Stone Man happily mastering fire, representing the origins of meaningful work. As technology advances, he becomes an overwhelmed businessman, eventually transforming into an emotionless robot. The shift from a natural forest to a futuristic cyberpunk city underscores how AI and automation can both enhance productivity and strip away human fulfillment. The piece questions the future of work as AI takes over, urging reflection on how we balance innovation with maintaining the human spirit in labor.
