Artist Created Thought-Provoking Illustrations That Might Take A Minute To Understand

With the development of society, everything seems to become more and more complicated. Do you think so? Things aren't like what they look like. People don't express what they actually feel. Everything hides some parts that it doesn't want anyone to see. This has also become an inspiration for artists, who try to reveal to the world what it tries to hide.
An Italian artist named Elia Colombo, known to Instagram as "gebelia," is one of such artists. Elia illustrated the flaws of our modern society in thought-provoking illustrations. They look illogical at the first glance, but they hide many deep messages behind them, which makes us spend more time thinking.
The artist, whose Instagram account is followed by 130k followers, mentioned many aspects of life through the illustrations such as social media craze, media, mental health issues, relationships, environmental problems, and more. They're like jokes with a satirical implication.

This image feels sweet (for what it means), but also causes me anxiety. What if she gets crashed by all those heavy pages? This also shows the dark side of excessive reading (in a way that you completely isolate from the outside world and can no longer function within a healthy dose of social life, pretty much like depression) or imposing too much of it on your kids (talking about over-ambitious parents here, yes, it happens).

It's sad that people still have to deal with gender discrimination. If only this problem didn't exist. If only men realized women can be just as good as they are, and vice versa. And the only thing we can do is try to stand up to it to make it stop.

Books fail in raising people's interest in reading and Facebook appears. People like reading more, but no one confirms what they loving reading.

Thanks to social media, people have got more feelings for virtual things and lost emotion for reality steadily.
