In this picture I wanted to show two people right next to each other but completely oblivious. It's mainly a critique on the overuse of cell phones.For a while now, I have been kind of interested in creating something that shows how people can be living in the world but not actually living in the moment. People seem to always be interested in something that is happening somewhere else rather than what is around them. I think cell phones are a miraculous technology and they are make life much more convenient, but I don't think that they can replace actual human contact.
To make this I used very simple procedures in Photoshop. I simply took two photos in dark rooms and pasted them together over a black background. I hope it delivers the message I was wanting it to. I still have thoughts about using either only one picture or if I had the time, a lot of pictures like this creating a collage.If I ever use this idea again I may experiment with different subjects.
