When over 1 million selfies are taken and shared online each day, social media reveals itself as a widely used tool of identity construction, particularly for young people whose fixation with this form means that selfies make up a third of all photos taken by 18-24 year olds. 36% admit to altering their selfies and 13% of women report that they retouch every photo they take of themselves. As such a pervasive phenomenon, the artworks in this series explore selfie culture in the context of mass behaviour, the spread of ideas (cue the neural imagery and connections between neurons), the editing/filtering processes used to present an ideal, and the formation of societal norms. The starting point for this series of work was to print out the first 100 photos tagged #selfie on a social media platform. I’ve alluded to the structure of neurons within the brain and placed them within the context of botanical imagery including plants, flowers and vines. This one raises questions about how we construct our identities online and what we choose to present.
