WWW. 12 Steps to Finding Healthier Sleeping Habits:

I am guilty, like many, of mindlessly being caught up in the cool blue light, infinite scroll, and ever engaging content of my phone. I find myself opening my phone when in a situation I would like to escape, during any minutes of free time, and especially at night. I think it feels safer to cease to think than to be left alone with my own thoughts- and that’s scary. What’s more is that this is not uncommon in the least. I despise the look of crowds of people blankly staring into the vacant and hollow content of their phones, when so much could be discovered by looking up. I despise it the most when I see it myself. So, for this piece, I wished to depict precisely the grotesque feeling that blanches me when I think of the action of looking at my phone at night. I want people to relate to this image, to see that they too are a subject in this circumstance.
