For my first idea, I was thinking to focus on the void that is either filled or created with social media and represent it through photography.I would crop an image that shows the positive aspect and once we would click on it , we would see the full context, which can often be negative. 

 

​

Filling void: Feeling isolated or alone

Creating void: loss of authentic relationships

​

• Expands relationships as there is no geographic limitations but is detrimental to face-to-face human interaction

​

Filling void: Need of sharing information

Creating void: Constructing a false image

​

• We can carefully choose what to share or show about our lives but we are invited to idealize or edit reality

 

 Filling void: Looking for distraction

Creating void: Creates dependence

​

• Quick access to constantly new information but encourages a compulsive social media use

 Filling void: Making ourselves heard or seen

Creating void: Caring too much about what others think

​

• Encourages self-expression about feelings, thoughts and image but we are seeking for validation and acceptance in return
