Smartphones have become personalised portals into this digital world. The phone object itself has become as important as a limb; one feels disorientated without it.
I was about one year old when Google first came into existence. I have never known a time whenthe virtual world was not present.I am not unique in this experience although people born today would consider the year of my birth just as archaic as I would view the years of my parents’ births. Technology is ever-changing to satisfy our needs, real or imaginary, and we are changing with it, giving it new desires to satisfy or maybe, as
technology becomes more and more complex, it is the one, creating these new desires.
This is where my body of work situates itself. The new reality we find ourselves in is an
amalgamation of virtual and real situations and experiences with a skewed hierarchy towards the digital world. True reality, devoid of the virtual world entirely, lives on only
in nostalgia.
