SENSE OF SELF

Young adults struggle with who they are. In a social media-invested society everything happens at the speed of light. Trends consume GEN-Z, the true digital natives and the pressure of wanting to belong has never been so great.

We consume so much information about other people’s lives that we wish to live or want to be like, that we often forget who we are - but most importantly who we want to be rather than who we think we should be. 

The pressure of wanting to fit in comes with anxiety and leaves a hole meant for identity. Online you can be anybody. In a world where we determine our value based on likes and comments, how much of it matters when none of it is real?

In this raw photoshoot called ‘SENSE OF SELF’, I would like to show how pressure from social media leads to suffocation, restriction, and loneliness.
