MA Digital and Visual Communications

My work explores how people are viewed through the filter of social media and how contemporary relationships are often mediated by means of digital technology and screens. ‘Outspoken’ is a project devised to investigate these online interactions by showing how a user’s online persona can be contrived and mutable - highlighting how the affordances promoted by social media can distort and affect images of the self and personal identity. My work seeks to scrutinize and challenge preconceived notions popularised by online platforms like Instagram.
