This project aims to highlight the growing reliance on social media over genuine physical interactions and the addiction it fosters. By examining the contrast between real and false identities online, we seek to inspire individuals to step outside their digital confines and form authentic relationships. Through various media forms and interactive tests, we explore the impact of social networking on social interaction, identity, isolation, and freedom. Together, we aim to engage audiences in a conversation about their true selves and the consequences of living behind a screen.
