PARA SOCIAL PARADOX

CONTEMPORARY CALGARY
2024
mirror, photo montage, vinyl

This collection explores the oddity of para-social relationships, where we feel close to people we only know through screens, highlighting the illusion of intimacy that social media often sells us. It's a commentary on the modern paradox of feeling connected yet isolated, visible yet unseen.

Through edited mirrors, The Para Social Paradox challenges us to look beyond our curated online personas, urging a contemplation of the authentic self in the age of digital exhibition. It questions the depth of our screen-mediated relationships and the impact of our digital habits on our sense of community and self-identity.
