This is a two pair canvas. It represents the past technology to our modern technology. Last year in college, I was going through a phase after taken a Sociology Class and a painting class. Unknowingly, during my painting hours it effected my artwork. I've become to translate my art work through people's eyes: the awareness of our environment.



(I apologize for the horrible bad image of part 1)

This part shows man made creation of electricity/technology.
We've learn how electricity works, how television is built, and how man made each step to succeed something greater and easier.
In the very button left corner you'll see a man who represents each man in the past whose invention has succeed throughout ages.





Here is a close up of the detail I've done.

(Part 2 Canvas)

This part is about the modern and future of our technology. The more idea's we gather to make each life easier for us humans to live, the less we are aware of the environment/ nature/ and living organisms (Longing  individual lifeforms) Each person or child are not being tough correctly in schools educations about the environment.

(Bottom half)
Instead of the ground being earth made, I've decided to give it a little more touched. Everything is made technology underneath or standing as you see wires run through. It'll become so natural that you'll be seeing everything made into technology. Even people, you loose an arm, well here is a robotic arm you can use. Lose an leg? well don't worry, use this robotic leg. Next thing you know, you're whole body will be nothing but wires controlling you. Let's face the facts, we already have robotic arms, robotic legs so we can walk and fit into our modern society. Let's just keep creating like there is nothing to worry. We can surpass life, like we we can cheat death. But there is a reason why things die and live and survive.

The two men you see while another business man is shaking hands with another business man but behind everything, he is a symbol of V for Vendetta.
Everything in our modern society has become private. Your Facebook site is certainly not private as you may think. Your phone is connect to mostly everything but your freedom.
Google will have all your personal information where you feel your safety is unsatisfied. Phone numbers being traced to which location you live, where you last graduated high school, what other sites do you use besides Facebook. On Google they will give you a list what other siting you use. Each sharing links to one another.
The V for Vendetta stands a symbol of hackers bringing corporation downs for the safety of people who aren't aware of what is really happening.
Sooner or later things in the future won't be so easy as you may think.

Like i said, this was a phased I was going through and never would expect of how it would effect my work.

One thing I almost forgot, these two pair aren't together anymore. "Future-Part 2 Canvas" was sold. Hopefully, it'll make people wonder what I meant.
