Digital Armour captures the importance of technology in the 21st century Digital Age. With numerous technological advancements and discoveries in different fields over the years and the global consciousness to embrace these new findings by all — nations, corporations and individuals alike — technology has seemingly become indispensable in our daily lives and interactions. As a matter of fact, we are all surrounded by it. The artist uses different parts of electrical appliances and the bull, a beast known for its agility, enormous energy and power as symbols to talk about the powerful influence of technology in the modern day society. The piece emphasizes the need for all nations, corporations and individuals to develop and keep abreast with advancements and "arm" themselves with new innovations in technology to remain relevant, competitive and powerful like the Bull in the digital age.
