Unlike the studios of great masters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Titian or Mansur, with many artists working in one space to produce a work, in the present times an individual can come up with loads of images and be recognised as an important artist, even by using his camera or mobile phone (like the French writer Romain Puertolas, who wrote his novel, ‘The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir who do got Trapped in an IKEA Wardrobe’ on his cell phone!). Our age is the epitome of the power of images which, despite their origin, fascinate a simple onlooker who opens his computer or newspaper to confirm if the world is moving in normal order. In that setup, an image that is both painful and pleasant affects and attracts him. In our times, it is the image that has taken over the text. Therefore, no matter how much you complain about the plight of a community, unless you produce an effective and heart-rending visual, no one will listen or react.
