Absorbed By Light

It’s an absolutely non unique bench, in a city, with a view over the Weerwater lake. Yet it appears that the other three humans on the bench are completely absorbed in their digital lives. Glued to their smartphones. If you sit down next to them, you have to make a choice. Will you absorb the surroundings, or surrender to the digital lure of our times? We can all identify with this, only too well, as we are all, often, smartphone addicts. Like the other three. With our heads somewhere very far away from where our bodies are we are, technologically, absent.
Maybe we shouldn't see Absorbed By Light as a work of art. Maybe it’s a challenge. A work of art that challenges us to sit on this bench and not take a selfie with this amazing work of art and the other smartphone slaves as the perfect backdrop?
