Social Loneliness

This project was made during my erasmus year at the ASP of Gdansk, in Poland, on the "Studio of Digital Techniques". The main point was to create graphics only using apps on our phones, editing tools and social media included. So after a long work process I finished using the media also as the topic, this is about how much we are supposed to be conected with people nowadays with all the technology we have, vs the reality of feeling really lonely and overwhelmed by everything.

Using some drawing apps on a tablet, breaking them, and then transforming and adding instagram gifs and stickers, and menctioning a song that means all my feelings that I said before. Then I took a screenshot of this random mix, because I felt that all the not opened notifications that I had match perfect with the whole idea.

After creating this project, the image was cut with a laser machine over wood, and printed it manually on paper. First over white, and after that over some digital color backgrounds that I made and print digitally before the wood stamping. I really like the texture given from the wood lines that appears in some of the prints, it gives some interesting results and variations.

Undoubtedly this is one of the projects I love most, including results and the whole process, because it showed me a lot of possibilities, the whole subject I'd say, took me to places I've never dreamt before. When my erasmus finished finished I looked at the whole process and realised how much that experience made me grow up more and more as a creative.
