Digital Natives, the generation raised in technological immersion, provide a unique perspective on Cyberspace, the virtual realm shaped by internet activities. In the continuously evolving digital era, the author, a Digital Native, recognizes the imperative need for awareness that modern humans live in two different spaces—virtual and concrete. The author aims to reconsider the significance of concrete space as the absolute definition of real space by creating a stage installation from found objects as an artistic idiom. Electrical energy is employed to maximize the material potential, making the considerable scale of the work increasingly acknowledged by observers. The resulting piece presents a panorama of various three-dimensional objects that repeat materially, yet are crafted and placed sporadically, thus evoking a sense of pollution. The author underscores the genuine process of achieving acceptance of a certain situation as an idea. The practice of working across different mediums successfully generates artistic satisfaction and brings to life the conceptual essence of the work in a personal landscape.
