This artwork explores how we often turn to our phones, including social media and other distractions, to escape from the challenges of life. The character is sitting in a beautiful field on a bright, sunny day, seemingly surrounded by peace and natural beauty. However, despite the serenity of the environment, they are overwhelmed with thoughts and emotions. Instead of embracing the moment and finding solace in nature, they reach for their phone in search of temporary relief. This moment of distraction symbolizes how many of us, consciously or unconsciously, tend to push away our problems by numbing ourselves with technology, rather than facing or processing them.
