"No One Is On the Line" explores unsettling layers beneath the facades of seemingly ordinary objects. The artwork merges 2D and 3D elements across joined canvases, fracturing both viewer perspective and narrative. The piece positions two telephones in dialogue: a child's toy phone on the canvas back transforms into a Cold War hotline phone on the front canvas. The red phone's receiver hangs off-hook, its ringer bulb emanating waves that evoke cartoon motion and Morse code SOS signals (…---…). The cartoon-like colors and style of the painting stand in stark contrast to the weight of their metaphoric message.
The composition weaves a trefoil - the radiation warning symbol - into its structure, linking the childhood innocence of the toy phone with nuclear threat. The work's construction across multiple canvas surfaces creates spatial breaks that mirror the disrupted communication of the unanswered phones and the unheard threat hanging in the air.
