Description

This is an illustration I did regarding the relationship between social media and human.

While social media benefits people in multiple ways—such as strengthening intimate connections and providing information about the broader world—it can also have negative impacts. People spend hours on their phones, endlessly scrolling through streams of information, and often surrender themselves to the screen without hesitation or suspicion. Therefore, I described social media as an hourglass here: it not only lets you flow freely and lose track of time but also traps you tightly within it.
