Exploring Human Connection with Technology Through Copperplate Etching

This project illustrates the relationship between man and technology through a series of portraits etched using copperplate techniques. By juxtaposing the experiences of people in a lively Wimbledon crowd with intimate moments of watching a DVD at home, I delve into how technology shapes our interactions. Collaborating with Maker Junction, a local community education center, I depicted individuals engaged with various devices like Kindles, smartphones, and iPads. The etching process includes preparing the plate, drawing, and transferring images before creating prints.
