In this artwork the mirror symbolises the fake image for the fake life which social media portrays to its users which creates the illusion among the people that someone else is living a way better life than them, A perfect life filled with luxuries.
Through this illusive and manipulated mirror of social media we see others lives which differs from our reality.
Judging Someone else’s life by seeing Social Media pictures and post is like Standing on the top of a cliff and trying to look into the depth of the ocean.
Social media, a double-edged sword, offers unprecedented connectivity but harbors numerous pitfalls. Excessive consumption can lead to a decline in mental well-being, manifesting as depression, anxiety, and lowered self-esteem fueled by unrealistic comparisons. The virtual world can be a breeding ground for cyberbullying, exposing individuals to cruelty and harassment. Privacy breaches are a constant threat, as personal data becomes vulnerable to exploitation. The rapid spread of misinformation can distort perceptions, erode trust, and hinder critical thinking. Moreover, the addictive nature of social media can disrupt sleep patterns, reduce productivity, and foster a sense of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out).
