SEIZE As many democracies edge toward authoritarian control, global tensions escalate, and trust in media erodes. SEIZE seeks to visualise the public’s collective fear for their future.

Blending depictions of this universal dysphoria with dystopian settings, Jonathan Cochrane renders these towering, intangible anxieties into a visual space for attention and critique. Reasons for paranoia may vary for the individual: be it from the threat of international war, political instability, climate crisis, or the rise of AI. They converge in a shared sense that we are in a pivotal moment and altogether radically disempowered.
