Paying Attention

Kat Knutsen

The two guys are having coffee together.  One of the guys seems to be more aware of what is going on and has noticed a strange hand lurking in front of him.  The gentleman besdie him has his glasses over his eyes as he seems to be texting.  The second gentleman is un aware of the lingering odd hand as he is too concerned with the situation that is not even physically present.  He has therefore removed himself from the situation via his sunglasses and cell phone usage.  The initial gentleman on the right seems more aware with having open eyes and directly observing the odd hand.  This is poking fun of the fact that when I notice people texting or talking on their cellphone amongst others, they become unaware of the circumstances amongst themselves.  It is a paradox.
