What the Future Holds 2021

"What the Future Holds" is a 2021 painting by Carrie Graber (b. 1975) depicting a figure looking out at a futuristic cityscape from an interior space. The painting, rendered in a hyperreal style, features a stark contrast between the cool geometric architecture and the warmth of the natural elements surrounding it. The inclusion of palm trees and a reflecting pool suggests a luxurious lifestyle, hinting at a commentary on societal expectations and the pursuit of the ideal future. The solitary figure, silhouetted against the cityscape, raises questions about individual identity and isolation within a technological society.
