Inspired by the ancient Japanese proverb of the Three Wise Monkeys, this series is a modern-day interpretation of the iconic pictorial maxim that has been subject to extensive philosophical and political commentary.
To post no evil is a culturally relevant addition to
the maxim of the Three Wise Monkeys. In
this fast-paced digital age, where your social
media posts speak louder than your words and
actions, one has to tread carefully online. The power of
social media looms greater than ever before, where a
misinformed post can destroy the livelihoods of many and
a viral video can grant a lifetime of wealth and riches.
This oeuvre features a Wise Woman on her smart phone
contemplating on what she is about to post online. Her
arms, covered in intricate vibrant patterns, direct the
viewer’s attention to the device in her hands which is
the object of her rapt attention. We feel ignored by the
Wise Woman, as she is entranced by the screen she
holds, making us curious to know what is on it. The Wise
Woman’s hypnotic fixation makes us wonder: have we
been posting responsibly or are we just adding to the
terminal chatter that permeates the world online?
