This work represents a large fishing net elaborated with more than 450 cell phones. Instead of catching a fish, what it holds inside is a child. The child is completely immersed in a technological world that still difficult for him understand. It’s like learning to run before walking… and having no self-control on how to stop.
The child is made with electronic boards symbolizing that technology is already part of their “DNA”. As a result of the technology dependent life he is surrounded by devices with no one to guide and protect him. The consequences of this irresponsibility is having devastating effects within the families and with serious social repercussions.
The human mind is the greatest of our assets. its potential is so great and it is so powerful that the slightest deviation in its development will have devastating effects which will be very complicated to reverse. This is the reason we have to protect and educate the children at any cost.
