THE PILGRIMAGE (a Place to Charge) Fine Art Print by Inna Etuvgi THE CONCEPT This work is created through the lens of Radical Empathy — a way of seeing in which the artist does not merely observe an object, but momentarily becomes it. Inhabiting the experience of a pair of wireless earbuds, Etuvgi visualizes their existence: being small, lost, separated, and depleted of energy. What seems like a minor everyday inconvenience is transformed into a quiet contemporary pilgrimage. In this process, the artist engages with Cybernetic Animism — our human capacity to project emotion and hope onto technological objects. It is a recognition of shared rhythms: we all know what it means to be depleted and to seek a recharge. • The earbuds become travelers. • The charging case becomes a sanctuary. • The act of charging becomes a modern ritual of survival. The Pilgrimage continues the series "Once Upon Now" — a contemporary fairytale told with gentle irony, reflecting how technology has woven itself into our emotional lives.
