Title: Untitled Construction #3 (Charcoal on Paper)
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Since September 11, 2001, there has been a growing sense of isolation in American society that has permeated many aspects of everyday life, affecting not just our institutional relationships (with their metal detectors and I.D. requirements) but our social and personal ones as well.

Modern technology, with its texting, social networking, and digital communication in general, gives us a tremendous interconnectedness. But there is also a strange loneliness that comes with this type of communication. A person can sit alone in her apartment and chat with 500 “friends” on Facebook, or buy and send all of her Christmas presents online without ever speaking to another person. Thus modern life creates a paradox between proximity and isolation. My work reflects on this odd form of lonely interconnectedness.
