Barbara Kruger Photo Reflection

 1.What do you see in this piece of art (describe it)?
In the forth photo, I see a statue or monument that a person on a phone doesn't even bother to look at. The statue is the one saying how the phone annoys it as everyone on the phone doesn't pay attention to the statue. The picture is saying that we spend to much time on our phones to pay attention to the world around us.

2. What kind of message is the artist giving in this piece of art?
I think the message in this picture is that we need to pay more attention to each other and our surroundings. Many people are attached to their phone and would rather text than talk to people. I believe the picture is telling us to pay attention to the world and people around us rather than our phones.

3. Do you like or dislike Kruger’s work? Why?
I like her work a lot because it is about things that happen in everyday life. Most of her work relates to everyone and can make you really think about how you/ people around you live their life. I love the way the words stick out in red and black. They make an impact on you when you look at them..
