Valentinos Vassiliou
In “Emoji Holocaust”, Valentinos Vassiliou presents a haunting critique of emotional commodification in the digital age. The painting features a gumball machine stuffed with emojis—each representing a different, often conflicting emotion—ranging from joy and love to rage and despair. These once-playful symbols are no longer just icons of expression; they’re trapped in a glass capsule, mass-produced and dispensed with mechanical indifference. Below, a colorful sludge pours out, as if the weight of collective emotion has been ground into a synthetic, unreadable mess. It's a grotesque metaphor for how social media dilutes and devalues real human feeling.
