Telephone

I hear you, but you're not getting through. Operator?

The image echoes the sentiment. The man in the foreground is echoed by the man in the background but in a converse manner. One converses whilst the other is silent. One watches while the other avoids. And the gap in between speaks volumes; a sense of isolation. Is this deliberate? Or yet another facet of modern living? Modernity isolates yet it also provides the means to bridge the gaps. But you can't fax a handshake or dial a hug, can you?
