Screen Time
For this project I wanted to make something that felt ominous in the light of halloween coming up as well as bringing awareness to the fact that technology can be a distraction. I wanted to communicate that sometimes we are so engrossed in our phones that we fail to be observant of our surroundings. Someone or something could be watching from the darkness. We wouldn't;'t know though as we are so distracted by our phones. It's almost as if phones have invisible strings that pull us in whenever theres a chance.
I took a shot of myself staring at a blank screen in the dark with only the screen providing the light that illuminated my face. Though it may be hard to see I also put a face in the background feeding into the ominous feeling of something lurking in the darkness. I experimented with long exposure to create some of the faint light that is helping to illuminate the background while also helping to almost hide the face. I also experimented creating and using brushes to create the effect of neon lights coming from the screen.
