STAY AWAY FROM PHONES

Stay Away From Phones
(2025)

Stay Away From Phones is a fully digital project that mimics analog decay intentionally. The paper textures, shutter shock on the Jamaica flag, and watermarks are all fabricated — there is no physical material. What interests me is how early internet and analog errors (glitches, distortion, compression) were once unintentional, but now we recycle them as a deliberate aesthetic. We’ve grown tired of polished content designed purely for consumption. People want to see imperfect, personal expression again. So we bring back the 2000s look not to nostalgiabait, but because even distortion has become a language of authenticity.
