"Parallel Encounters" is the artwork inspired by Il Francia's "Annunciazione". The scene is now brought into a modern world, even science-fiction context with skyscrapers popping into the background. If the renaissance backdrop of the original gives a solemnity to the scene, the perspective is now more agressive, complex and draws the attention from the holy scene. The main characters are still keeping their position in the picture, even though they have lost their holy spirit and are now depicted as normal humble people. 

The light also plays an important role in the scene, as it represents the only divine element. Virgin Mary is standing solemnly under a spot of light, as she is about to become the future mother of God's son, while Gabriel is gratefully kneeling facing her lightened aura. But is that enough to catch attention and emotion in our constant moving insensitive world?

Overall, the picture was transformed into a more dynamic scene. The foreground of the announciation scene competes with the modern crowded background, as the spirituality fades away while being chased by nowadays superficial society.  Where is the focus? What is the main subject? Or are we trying to chase too many things at once?
