Zero Twenty One
021 explores the intersection of geographic identity, digital communication, and subcultural rebellion. Centered on a hand gesture that forms the number "021," the work uses the universal language of hands to create a wordless, unifying symbol.
The imagery is presented on a skateboard deck via vinyl printing, a medium rooted in movement, freedom, and resistance to imposed systems. This "zombie-like" aesthetic bridges the rebellious spirit of skate culture with a critique of systemic control.
In computing, Error 021 signals a critical failure in which a system can no longer operate as intended. Here, that technical failure becomes a metaphor for deliberate disconnection. The work reflects on moments when communication is severed, and failure is used as a tool of power, blending digital error with a physical act of defiance.
