Emotional Contagion
“My work explores the effects of globalization, largely through mass communications, and their capacity to bring psychological pressures and the uncontrolled complexity
of their power to influence us. It can be argued, we are becoming a universal simplified human being, giving birth to a binary mind that is increasingly devoid of complex ideas,
nuances and easily convinced of the truths it is told again and again, leading to the current globalized era of ‘politics of emotion’. My work explores themes like “emotion”, as the physiological
and psychological trigger that is stimulated by the constant stimulus of mass communication, and “memory” which gives us the ability to lay claim to a heritage,an origin and roots.
Underlying this exploration, I draw on my personal exploration and interest in philosophical and sociological views.
