Because the work consists of a single object against a background, this critique will be very short.

The hexagonal lattice by itself conveys novelty, having been incorporated in countless films, television series and video games, but also sidelined in favour of rectangular objects in everyday life. Its blue glow, reminiscent of Cherenkov radiation, highlights the lattice's dynamism while also popping it out of the two-dimensional screen; this property can be demonstrated by jerking the body back and forth. Behind lies a black background, exposing the central subject bones and all. The intended style of minimalism has been achieved no doubt, but the work is lacking in some areas: the lattice is too simple and in danger of losing its meaning, which may be remedied by removing the hexagons on one side, the picture can be replicated in a matter of minutes on any capable graphics editor, and simple wallpapers like this abound in every corner of digital art.
