Tigritude

This piece epitomizes society's mixed feelings about digital communication. On the one hand, it’s a sign of progress and on the other, we resent it.

Part of the “Emojilution” collection - the second of three.

Studies show that emoji characters have different meanings in different cultures and even age groups. While as part of being an artist I express feelings with visual images, I struggle doing so with Emojis. Using pictograms to communicate is problematic and overly simplistic but it is the next phase in human communication, and we need to accept that. This collection emphasizes the inevitability of evolution together with the pain it involves.
