Signal Worship

“Signal Worship” this piece explores a reality that has become so familiar we barely question it anymore the silent worship we offer to our phones. The bright, central phone stands like an altar, glowing with invisible waves that pull us in, demanding attention, obedience, and devotion.

Around it, the human figures rise like a crowd, their outlines distorted, almost dissolving into the background. They are reaching, lifting their arms toward the device as if it were a sacred object, a source of purpose, validation, or even identity. I painted them this way because I feel that, today, many of us unconsciously bend ourselves to technology, forgetting the power and beauty we hold within.

The green lines represent life, energy, and humanity, yet they seem overshadowed by the phone’s presence. That tension is intentional. It reflects how our inner world often gets overshadowed by the digital world we constantly feed.

This artwork is my way of questioning our relationship with technology, but also my way of expressing a personal ache, the ache of watching humanity detach from its own essence. We are powerful beings, but we often surrender that power to distractions. In this ritual of digital worship, our individuality dissolves. We become one mass moving toward the same object the same distraction, the same dependency.

We are powerful beings, and we should not shrink ourselves for a device. We deserve to reconnect with each other, with nature, with our own truth. The phone in the center is empty for a reason because no matter how much we worship it, it can never fill the space meant for real connection, empathy and love.
