“ From the cave man painting his hand on the wall to the Egyptian hieroglyphs, pictorial languages have dominated the way in which we communicate without words. The century of the emoji has now dawned. From Acid House to text messaging the smiley is a universal symbol. We now communicate emotions with abstract faces and expressions. "

Emoji Daze reveals the hidden messages in everyday shapes, design and desires.
It proposes a theory that through all cultures there is a semiotic dependancy on fetishisation of symmetry in pictorial languages and even in our own culture as we now hail the dawn of the emoji.

The body of work is designed as a series of prints for fashion t-shirts, crop tops and all over prints for youth rave tribes of south London.
