About. Competition and Resistance
What we see. This work explores the vulnerability inherent in social media engagement, set against the backdrop of ongoing debates about freedom of speech on open platforms. The woman stands as a sentinel of freedom of speech, shielding herself from personal attacks that arise from her posts and replies. She embodies a duality, constantly navigating both offense and defense—a reflection of the complexities of modern communication.
The plastic glove enveloping her heart symbolizes protection, while the dart arrow in her other hand signifies her readiness to counter any threats. The brushstrokes of her dress reveal a level of transparency, exposing her womb, bones, and organs, which poignantly illustrate the raw vulnerability she endures in her interactions on X. This interplay of defense and exposure captures the essence of her experience in a tumultuous digital landscape.
Ellen says “She is aggressor and victim at the same time. Vulnerable but assaultive.”

The man with the virtual reality glasses is kneeling as being a sort of servant. The man in shorts is pitching to participate, jealousy looking at the man’s golden watch.
Ellen says “We Are All Gonna Make It.”

About. Digital debt.
This work refers to the hype and speculation of NFT’s. The emphasis lies on the speculative nature of ownership.
This painting is about the owner of the cat, ‘mommy’, and not so much about the cat.
What we see. This cat has been transformed into an NFT by its owner, with the intention to be sold. Signified by the Raging Bull, a Wall Street symbol of speculation and wealth accumulation.
The cat is portrayed wearing gloves referring to the owner wanting to accumulate wealth without having to do the ‘dirty’ hard work of labor.
Ellen says “This is not a happy cat.”

What we see. We see a daunting black doorway to a data center. Symbolizing the internet as modern way to make a living. One character is a crypto miner in a suit ready to go down the mine. The other is a businessman, portrayed in an almost vacation type outfit. Awaiting his passive profits, with an hint of arrogance.
Ellen says “The seated man symbolizes the wealthy speculant. No real effort, wearing gloves to keep his hands clean.”
