The photography captures devices, laptop, tablet and phone seated like family members. These are only items which has face in the enire exhibition. Exaggerated, cartoonish eyes and mouths are meant to remind us of the sad reality that perhaps these devices are more individual and have more character than some of their users.
They sit together at the table during a shared dinner. But are they truly together? Or are they completely absorbed by the world of the black screen?
While physically present, each individual might be mentally and emotionally distant, captivated by their devices. The black screens of phones, tablets, and laptops create a barrier that isolates them from one another. Conversations are interrupted by notifications, eye contact is replaced by glances at screens, and genuine interaction is overshadowed by the lure of digital engagement.
