Auto Racing as Existential Thought fuses the high-octane excitement of racing with the contemplative depths of existential inquiry, creating a space where art and sport blur into a seamless fusion of profound insights. Tortured engines roar, tires screech for help on the asphalt, and with speeds up to two hundred thirty-three miles per hour, you face your own morality at each corner. In an instant you come to a complete stop where you are submerged into darkness, engulfed by death and dread. This project encapsulates both the aesthetics, immersive culture, and imagery of professional league motorsports and broader themes within the automotive world, evolving into a philosophical inquiry. I navigate themes of dread, despair, anxiety, and the meaning of life within my artistic practice, drawing inspiration from artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Robert Rauschenberg, and Francis Bacon and leaning on philosophical insights from Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Sigmund Freud. Auto Racing as Existential Thought navigates the complexities of existential dread, inviting viewers into the landscape of a deeply personal yet universally resonant exploration of the automotive and racing world. Utilizing a monochromatic palette, the colors represent facets of inner turmoil, echoing the nature of existential questioning.
