Mychaelyn Michalec's work depicts ultramodern matters of domestic life. Documenting life covertly, she uses her phone’s camera to capture familial relationships and daily life. Technology has become a part of our relationships. It influences how we interact with one another, where our attention lies, how our bodies are bent, and how we communicate.

Similarly, technology has influenced the depiction of domestic life. Social media has idealized family life, Michalec's work illustrates moments of both simultaneous disconnect and connections. In an era of curated Facebook feeds highlighting the best in family life, there is a saccharine image of family life at odds with the distraction of the digital age.
