Instrument of Mass Distraction, 2018

The source image is photo of portable corona typewriter from the early 1900s, which is the precursor of today’s portable computers and other communication devices. Typewriter keyboards remain a primary tool used to separate us from oblivion, and the skill with which it is wielded deeply affects our perceptions, reality and all that follows. When I mirrored the image, it resembled an Accordion, and made me want to put a twist on the concept of ‘the pen is mightier than the sword,’ on a global, WMD sized scale.
