Reflections That Symbolize Idealized Alternative Lives
This collection is a metaphor created centered around social media and the way it can and does distort reality. The reflections through these mirrors symbolize how people are living alternate lives; one on social media that exposes their alternative being to the world, and the more secret life off of social media - ‘real life.’
Social media stories and posts are made in hindsight. They are linear representations crafted to project an idealized version of a person’s interests and lifestyle - or what they want the world to see. This influences the person’s behavior in real life - what they are creating results in merely being content for an audience rather than living in the moment and their ‘real,’ authentic life.
