This work extends the Behind the Obvious series into a post-digital reflection, where technology is no longer a futuristic horizon but an environment already integrated into bodies and gazes. Abraham Aronovitch depicts the human figure within an intermediate space, suspended between tangible physical presence and disembodied mental projection.

​

Here, the traditional mirror becomes an ambiguous surface, functioning simultaneously as screen, threshold, and zone of loss. The contrast between the blue-toned body and the cosmic background establishes a silent tension, evoking a desire for transcendence through the virtual—one that no longer promises elevation, but a gradual dilution of identity. Through the motif of the VR headset and the digital double, the work questions the cost of our technological immersion: a renewed Faustian myth in which the soul fragments within the infinity of data.
