As meaning fades

Description

My submission to the Toshiba Seriously Japanese Contest. I chose to use the artwork "The Great Wave off Kanagawa".
I wanted to depict how communication has been changed by technology - how technology has made communication easier than ever, and yet we are beginning to talk more and say less. This is illustrated through the crumbling of the Wave into meaningless pixels and the blankness of the scroll as it moves towards the future.
I had a lot of fun drawing this especially her clothes!! >v< I tried to blend the traditional Japanese kimono with elements of cyber punk fashion to show the merging of the past and future. The kanji on her headphones, 情 (じょう), is a component of both the words 情報 (information) and 感情 (emotion).
I can't English I'll stop writing now

Awesome brush by Jaaaiiro can be found here
