PART 3 2022: Social Network: Social Distancing (2020)
Created at the start of the pandemic, Social Network: Social Distancing NFT project invited friends and followers on Instagram to share selfies, which I retouched using beauty apps on my iPhone. This exchange created intimate digital interactions during a time of social isolation. Since 2016, beauty apps have been central to my practice, revealing societal beauty standards through their limited functionality. In this series, I pushed these tools beyond their intent, transforming selfies into abstracted, sometimes obliterated forms, challenging notions of identity and beauty in the digital age.
