This charcoal drawing is rendered with a smoothing technique and shows the subject’s face in a dazed overload of stimulus. The experience of sight and sound overwhelm from technological stimulus is common, especially among emerging adults and young people in twenty-first century society. The inclusion of a smartwatch on the wrist of the portrait’s subject points to the dominance of technology in our lives.
