WATCHING
I am a multimedia artist and my practice revolves around individual identity and the ways in which it is performed.
My work, Watching, examines the pervasive sense of surveillance that defines contemporary life, shaped by a culture increasingly fixated on image through the rise of social media.
Through this short animation, I aim to offer a brief insight into the exhausting experience of navigating daily life amid the constant pressure to commodify oneself, battling between authenticity or curated presentation.
