Name: Kayla Traxel
Title of Piece: Epistle.exe
Size: 25" x 32"
Medium: keyboard keys, acrylic
Price: $400
Description: Oscar Wilde’s private confessions of love were once used against him in court, their tenderness lost to public scandal. Today, those same words are quoted out of context and stripped of their intimacy. The meaning of his words distorts over time and through screens with lost context. Keyboard keys spell out Wilde’s message, but missing letters disrupt it, echoing what gets lost in digital translation.
