About the Artwork:
“The constant buzz of social media surrounds us in an attempt to fill a void. Exposure Therapy speaks to the compulsive power of social media and the addictive desire to see and be seen. For those seeking connections it’s a quick and easy fix, but the crash is inevitable. The dopamine rush of likes and follows has the same effect on the brain as gambling. For some, it creates an alternate reality that is difficult to escape.” – Scott G. Brooks
