Fragmented Illusions

Fragmented Illusions

Medium: Colored pencil and acrylic paint on canvas

Size: 9 x 9 inches

Intention

Continuing with the idea of hiding and disliking yourself, I chose to depict a teenage girl that is experiencing body dysmorphia. Through the use of mirrors, I drew a girl with dysmorphic features in value scales of graphite pencil. A good friend of mine struggles with body dysmorphia and self confidence within her appearance. The motto was the catalyst for this piece as she is a good of mine. This color palette depicts the darkness this feeling can convey as well as the feeling of numbness.

Technology and its effect on Family Bonds

Technology can be designed to reinforce family bonds in extended families. However, there are limitations to technology aiding family bonds. There have been breakthroughs, like Facetime, group calendars, and even social media however these come with limitations. Designing technology to reinforce family bonds in extended families rather than breaking them requires careful consideration of the needs and dynamics of these families (ChatGPT). To design technology that is inclusive to extended families we need to consider inclusivity, shared experiences, and connectivity.
