I tried to depict a moment when technology takes over and dominates the most private time of an individual. The almost silhouetted figure against the soft light emanating from the screen of a cell phone represents relaxation and self-confidence.

The figure is surrounded by nature and symbolic elements, like a classic modeled bicycle. The whole assembly invites the viewer to contemplate the balance or imbalance between the physical and digital worlds, the remote mode of communication among individuals, and the relationships based on that. It also reflects on the meanings of our old and new values, both individually and collectively as a society.

The mosaic-like plated figure evokes fragmentation or disintegration, while the great circle behind it creates a sense of unity, harmony, and balance. The bike, holding a prominent space on the canvas, generates paradoxical ideas like freedom of movement or, alternatively, a sense of fleeing.

The soft color combination, mostly blue and green, evokes calmness and serenity but, on the other hand, also suggests alienation and melancholy.
