09. Taped into a distorted reality
Taped in a Distorted Reality is a conceptual photography project that examines the tension between human presence and digital dependency. Through striking and unsettling imagery — phones taped onto faces — the series visualizes how technology both connects and confines, creating a distorted sense of self and reality. The work acts as a commentary on digital isolation, where endless connectivity paradoxically amplifies emotional distance.
The taped phones symbolize self-imposed confinement — a personal prison constructed through constant screen engagement. The subjects, absorbed and immobilized, embody the paradox of being both hyper-connected and profoundly detached.
By blurring the boundary between reality and virtuality, the project invites reflection on how technology mediates perception, reshapes identity, and numbs emotional authenticity. The photographs oscillate between the absurd and the poetic, asking: At what point does our dependence on technology erase our humanity?
