Michael

Michael, part of JackSash’s Construct Destiny series, captures the abstract linework of a microchip, an emblem of humanity’s leap into the digital age. Rendered as a close-up interpretation of circuitry and grids, the work transforms technological minutiae into monumental abstraction. The vibrant lines and pixelated surfaces suggest both precision and poetry, echoing the hidden patterns that now underpin modern existence. Within the broader arc of the series, Michael occupies the critical juncture where human ingenuity turns inward while compressing vast knowledge, memory, and computation into miniature silicon landscapes.

The title, Michael, imbues this technological fragment with mythic resonance. As Archangel Michael is known as a guardian and warrior who stands at thresholds, this work positions the microchip as a sentinel of our era that protects, guides and challenges humanity as it crosses into a future shaped by artificial intelligence and digital consciousness. Here, the microchip is not simply hardware but a gatekeeper, mediating between human creativity and machine intelligence, between past achievements and the uncertain terrain of what lies ahead.
