Refran: "People are prisoner to their phones. That’s why they are called cell phones"

Card Description: For my Loteria Card I wanted to share my thoughts on phone problems as in phone addiction and a lot of the times cell phones affect our daily lives and is our salvation of living. I was inspired by the subject of phone addiction because I know my cell phone has impacted my life and I cannot live without it The colors in the piece represent.  The colors in my piece represent a cell phone with a skull and chains on the hands show how we are stuck in a different reality instead of our reality and we don’t have a free of will. For me personally, this card represents how cell phones is a bad habit and can cause a lot of horrible emotion and not a good state of mind, and its not because of the person is in a good state of mind but cells phone are the cause of our emotions when being more addicted.
