Alone (Lost in the Digital World)

Rendered in a restrained monochrome, the reclining figure is built from insistent crosshatching that turns the body into a topography of tension, suggesting both rest and a quiet vigilance. The phone’s pale rectangle becomes the compositional and psychological fulcrum—an artificial “window” whose glow interrupts the soft, drifting space around her and reorders attention into a tight, private orbit. By flattening the environment into smoky gradients and scattered marks, the work frames solitude as a contemporary condition: comforted by stillness, yet tethered to distant voices through a luminous, handheld proxy.
