Vagabond Unfiltered - Episode 6 - Layana

What happens when social media transforms the mirror from a tool of private reflection to a stage for public display?

Artworks about “The Dark Side of Social Media".
With these pieces we aimed to emphasize what happens when we give away our privacy, when we turn "privately looking at ourselves in the mirror" into "publicly posting our mirror selfies". By repeatedly doing this we risk opening ourselves up to anonymous unfalsifiable criticism, pressuring ourselves into always lookin...

Vagabond Unfiltered - Episode 5 - Veerle

Artworks about “Social Media: The Lie of Perfection". These pieces explore the duality of online personas and reality. The golden frame symbolizes the curated, idealized and objectified representation of the human body often seen on social media platforms. Beyond the frame lies the unfiltered truth, highlighting the emotional toll of these unattainable standards on mental health, self-esteem and body image.

Artwork about "Social Media: The Lie of Perfection".
This piece explores how the manipulation of content perpetuates an illusion of perfection, contributing to mental health struggles and body image issues. The growing popularity of plastic surgery reflects this trend, turning the body into a perpetual "construction zone." Yet, the most vital "work" lies in addressing the mind.

Vagabond Unfiltered - Episode 2 - Flore

Artwork about "the lie of perfection on Social Media".
The band-aids are "fixing" her body according to judgments, insecurities, platform policies, and beauty standards. They emphasize the otherwise hidden manipulations happening with editing software/apps, which uphold the illusion of perfection, that's causing us much harm through online mass exposure and mass comparison.

Vagabond Unfiltered - Episode 1 - Artbeats

In these pictures two women embrace heart to heart. They are painted with heartbeats in the colours of different skin tones.
Despite their distinctly painted skin colours, these shades blur their true identity.
With this work, Stijn wants people to reflect on why it seems so crucial to discover others' origins. Our skin colour influences how we are seen and treated, even though we essentially have the same heart. Does the colour of our skin still determine our identity?
This question...
