Art project

Ok so sorry if the pictures are a little blurry and if you can not really read what is written on them but I will try my best to explain each of them. There are 4 drawings to one page but i also took individual drawings so you could see them better.

First Pictures:


First Panel:

This is where the girl is sleeping and her blanket is made out of the different pieces of technology which are surrounding her and keeping her tucked into bed. The music that is playing is like brainwashing, it is saying that technology is good and you do not need anything else but it.

Second Panel:
The second panel is a look at what the average day is composed of. People sit in front of huge computer screens and get feed numbers which come out as information about anything. The helmet is where all those numbers go and get converted into data and the glasses are the screen where you see what your learning. 

Third Panel:
So here we have our main character go home and on his way he passes many people like him who are tied down by technology, the big box says digitalization: 90 pounds. The guy on the floor has been so caught up that he can not move or help himself get up, the other guy is almost there and keeps stumbling since his feet are bound. 

Fourth Panel:
This fourth panel is where our main character meets this girl blowing bubbles. Don't ask why bubbles, I just like them, something nice/ peaceful about them. Anyway, if you look at the picture her digitalization box is now 100 pounds and the other girls is only 10 and her strings are much looser. 

Second Picture:

So close up on her bubbles. Just saying the bubbles are the only things in color through out the whole thing, no I was not lazy, I just felt like they were important so they should stand out. But all the bubbles have something inside of them and they connect with nature because thats what I think were mainly losing by giving into technology.

Third Picture:


First panel:

In this picture the main character has popped the bubble and is saying why she can not be free to fly like they can. She is finally tired of his life and has seen something perhaps better in those bubbles the girl was blowing. 

second panel:

Here she is imagining being in one of those bubbles and floating away from the city and all it pollution of digitalization. The words in the caption say (sorry no service) and those check marks are supposed to be birds, yes we can't all be artists.

Third Panel:

Ok here is a balloon being pumped full of air. The main character has decided to take some action and is going to create her bubble from her imagination. She does not want it to be a dream but wants it to be reality if any more real then where she is already living.

fourth panel:

Here the balloon is tied down so it wont fly with out her and she is starting to undue her strings which keep her a slave of digitalization.

Fourth Picture:


Here she is up in the balloon with the first girl who had shown here what her life is missing and they are soaring above the city. The arms are coming from the different pieces of technology trying to drag her back down but there is a force field protecting the balloon so it can not be touched. On the ground there are many people watching this event but think nothing of it since they are to under the control of digitalization to think much of it. They are all outside the store that says: Technology superstore (where you can get everything you want and need)

I am not sure my piece of art is either a hammer or a mirror. Though I would say more a mirror where you see what is happening in our lives but there is also the bit where the main character escapes into the sky to fly and be free but I do not really give the real life alternative to it. I do not really think this is what I wanted to do. I was kinda stuck on what I wanted to do for my art and i just happened to start drawing and then this came out of it. I feel like it could have been a little more put together but I do like the panel where she is connected to the big computer and all those numbers are getting fed straight into her head through wires and getting seen by her through glasses. The most interesting is I think i may have gotten a little personal with the nature aspect of it. I felt that it was important so I put it as the thing that they were missing.
