It is a humorous yet surreal idea that the lives of so many are dictated by a little blue screen that is an extension of themselves. It is an extension of their existence, of their personality and identity. It defines actions and dictates how we interact. Who would have thought that such a meagre device could have such a profound impact on the entirety of humanity. A device that connects us all, yet somehow seems to disconnect us from our true selves. 

The sculpture, Little Blue Screen, acknowledges and celebrates the impact of technology on our everyday lives. Technology can be truly uplifting when it works in harmony with the lives of those that use it. The pandemic has shown us the scale of meaningful impact in keeping people safe, connected and informed in even the most trying times. As the world went into isolation, the screens we interact with everyday became portals to our workspaces, schools, and to the lives of our loved ones, reminding us that we are not alone.

The core idea of the sculpture is to highlight the balance we need in order to lead a fulfilling life in a rapidly changing landscape. The times we live in mark the beginning of a new era of communication and culture, spearheaded by technology.

This little blue screen, does it define you, or do you define it?
