In today's digital age, many individuals go to great lengths to construct virtual personas that mimic others, often sacrificing their own unique identities in the process. This pursuit of an idealized image gradually distorts people's perception of beauty, erasing individual characteristics and promoting a standardized and homogenous appearance. As a result, real-life identities are jeopardized.

​

The augmented reality work titled "Portraits" expresses this issue by showcasing a set of three portraits featuring girls who bear a striking resemblance to one another. Through this artwork, I aim to shed light on the pervasive trend of “influencer" or "WangHong" (a Chinese term for internet celebrities) and the distorted values that underlie their popularity. I hope to prompt viewers to reconsider the online world and question prevailing notions of beauty.
