To post no evil is a culturally relevant addition to the maxim of the Three Wise Monkeys. In this fast-paced digital age, where your social media posts speak louder than your words and actions, one has to tread carefully online. The power of social media looms greater than ever before, where a misinformed post can destroy the livelihoods of many and a viral video can grant a lifetime of wealth and riches.  

This “Do No Evil” acrylic on canvas painting features a Wise Woman on her smartphone contemplating on what she is about to post online. Her arms, covered in intricate vibrant patterns, direct the viewer’s attention to the device in her hands which is the object of her rapt attention. We feel ignored by the Wise Woman, as she is entranced by the screen she holds, making us curious to know what is on it. The Wise Woman’s hypnotic fixation makes us wonder: have we been posting responsibly or are we just adding to the terminal chatter that permeates the world online?
