Sentient Object

My sentient object is a mobile phone coming on with a notification, with a little happy face. I created this false phone on a real photo to help the juxtaposition of the two - a very fake looking, almost fantastical object against a real background. I created this object because I am exploring our relationships with the internet and social media, and as a mobile phone is the most popular way of accessing the internet nowadays, it serves as a very valuable object to us. Our phones mean the world to us, so by giving it a personality with a little face, the item is brought to life in the same way we may view a friend or a pet - as a sentient being that matters to us.
