this new phenomenon of modern life is becoming all pervasive. we are all well aware of it. indeed it is everywhere. this picture somehow portrays the separation that is created almost  by proxy. no one is really conscious that it is actually happening. her face is separated by the window pillar enhancing her detachment while he, intent on the screen is none the wiser. her eyes suggest a wistful distance, even a longing to actually relate to him without that something between them. but it is only a picture, wide open to interpretation.
