New generations become part of social media before they’re even born, and they grow with it as a present condition of their lives. The use or abuse of this digital world grows as an issue in our contemporary society. For those who have experienced a life without it, people of my generation, it often feels very clear how this influence is taking over reality, causing serious damage on different levels to basic human interaction. It is this conflict, these changes, that drive an artistic statement.
Pop decadence, an expression of an extraordinary and perfect version of yourself, often as your inner self is touching loneliness and auto-destruction. Instead of self reflection, the best, most shiny selfie shows up on the pages of your social network. The weight of this image in society, when the goal isn't to show what’s real, but how you would like to be seen, becomes a crescendo of new and fantastic representations of the self.
