'Addicted'

Our modern world today heavily depends on communication, between friends and families, between countries and within business. To feed this growing need for information and communication, people surround themselves with communication technologies. Blackberry, computers, hand phones, television and radios. But the more people use these technologies to stay in touch, the more we become addicted to them. We don’t like to leave without our blackberries or hand phones, we stare on the computers, and we watch the news for hours on end. Like me, this is especially for the younger generations than the older generations. It appears that by becoming increasingly dependent on technologies in our lives, we are slowly being ‘taken over’ by them instead. My artwork shows this gradual conquering of technologies represented by the wires and the machines. The facial features are neutral to show that it represents anyone and the facial expression is meant to look sad.
