The Marked Man

The Marked Man embodies the intersection of identity, technology, and surveillance in a globalized world. The human figure is mapped in grids and world outlines, wired into golden data lines that stretch outward like veins of information. It symbolizes how individuals are increasingly charted, tracked, and connected within the digital network — not just as people, but as coordinates, datapoints, and flows of information.

The imagery evokes both empowerment and vulnerability: the figure stands tall, yet its very being is inscribed with markers of control, geography, and digital infrastructure. It is a portrait of humanity in the age of big data — mapped, measured, and yet still undeniably human.
