Communication, 2011

Acrylic on canvas

January 2011

This painting symbolizes the relationships of today. First with the invention of the telephone, to texting, MSN Messenger and Facebook, face-to-face communication no longer exists as it once was. We seem to believe that relationships over a screen are viable and true. Yet what is missing is the emotion and expression of speaking to someone in person. This painting dramatizes the lack of face-to-face communication as a call for help.
