The restructured mural contains provoking images of technological abuse in children and teenagers, with the objective of creating reflection for both the students of the institute that is right in front of the park, as well as other teenagers that pass by or frequent the area. It is important to mention that the main characters of this mural are students of the same institute, which makes it even more special.

2022 Nottingham Trent University – 7th International Conference on Behavioral Addictions (UK) – Exhibition + Presentation
A great honor for me to be invited to this event that revolves around digital technology and its addictions. Behavioral addictions talk about gaming, porn, gambling and social media abuse.
I was able to exhibit my work in print format at the event and have a presentation and also attend several lectures by professors from all over the world. Here I realized that in this field of research it is difficult to reach empirical studies because the target audience is often small and localized in a specific area.

The workshop can be a very powerful way for schools themselves to start talking about issues such as cyberbullying, porn, gaming, social disconnection, etc.
