Collage I
A surrealist collage play with scale to ask people to be aware of smartphone addiction Composing digitally in Photoshop helped me to experiment the surreal measurement, such as the size of phone frames versus the drowning people, and the big kid versus the mountain. The man was reaching out his hand and crying for help while the kid payed no attention to the situation but focused on his phone. The surrealist composition was made to awaken people who are crazy in love with their tiny smartphones, and have certainly no idea about their splendid life.
Do we have to keep social networking on smartphones? Are we controlled by our phone? Are we drowning? ‌‌
