Braeden Baumann's Art

Materials: iPhone Camera Processes: I found a picture of a zoom call on Google and took a photo of me staring into it. Ideas: This shows the isolation and depression many faced when we had to interact with others digitally instead of in person during the pandemic.

 

  Materials: iPhone Camera, Photoshop Processes: I’m going to take a picture of two people looking at their phones and then going to put it in photoshop and smudge the face into the phone. Ideas: This shows how we are so consumed in our phones that we don’t interact with other people.

  Materials: Pencil Process: I drew out a thumbnail of the idea I wanted to do Ideas: The separation of the happy and vibrant world and the sad and dark world show the fake world the person wants the world to see.

Materials: Camera Processes: I took cords and wrapped them around my hands, arms, and body. I got someone to take a picture of me and edited it in Lightroom. Ideas: The cords being wrapped around me and my hands show how social media and our phones trap and imprison us, keeping us isolated from others and lonely.

Materials: iPhone Camera, Lightroom, Paper, X-Acto Knife Processes: I got someone to take a photo of me and tweaked the photo in Lightroom. I put the photo on my phone and took a photo of the phone. I printed out the photo of the phone in different sizes. I cut out the different sizes and arranged them on top of each other. Ideas: This photo represents how our phones trap us in them and how we center our lives around social media. Because of this we, especially people in our generation, stay at home and stop interacting with other people in person, creating loneliness.

  Materials: Camera Processes: I got a bunch of cords and wrapped them around myself and I put in wired headphones. I did this to show the trapping and chocking effect social media and phones can have and how they trap us at home without friends. Ideas: This photo represents how our phones trap us in them and how we center our lives around social media. Because of this we, especially people in our generation, stay at home and stop interacting with other people in person, creating loneliness.
