The Great Evaporation #73· Oct 28, 2025

This artwork symbolizes the massive Amazon layoffs by depicting a vast, sterile corporate grid of empty desks, representing the scale of the company and the impersonal nature of the cuts. The faint, dissipating digital forms rising from the chairs represent the 30,000 employees being terminated, their presence erased by data-driven decisions and the push towards AI. The cold environment and the distant, faceless silhouette of leadership highlight the dehumanizing scale of the event and the stark contrast between corporate strategy and individual human cost.
