Pay Attention!
In a world united and divided by social media platform algorithms, how we perceive and represent ourselves and the Other is muddled by a cocktail of logos, emoticons and memes playing off as the far more complex counterparts they are meant to represent. This technologically-enabled context keeps us from expressing fully and in traditional contexts (face to face) the very emotions we are merely claiming to ‘feel’ at a distance ‘harmlessly’ behind our screens.
Each acrylic painting in this series is a call-to-action that exposes our passive and destructive attitudes, with titles and intended arrangements urging the viewer to move and pay attention, both on a psychological level and a physical one.
