Shadows of Connection: Unmasking the Dark Side of Social Media
What We Share, What We Hide, and the Art Between the Two
What if the most curated parts of us are also the most disconnected?
This collection pulls back the filter to reveal what’s underneath. Not for shock, not for drama—just truth. The kind that lingers long after the likes stop rolling in.
This is Shadows of Connection: a collection that doesn’t sugarcoat the digital experience. It confronts it.
Unmasking the Dark Side of Social Media
We scroll. We tap. We post. We filter. And we call it “connection.”
But underneath the dopamine hits and carefully cropped feeds, there’s a quieter story playing out.
Shadows of Connection wasn’t born out of burnout or bitterness. It was born from paying attention. From noticing the tension between being seen and being watched. Between expression and performance. Between connection and comparison.
It’s not sad. It’s not cynical. It’s real.
You're Not Just Being Watched. You're Being Sold.
Your attention. Your behavior. Your silence. It’s all on the market.
Every scroll feeds a machine designed to know you better than you know yourself—and shape what you believe while it's at it.
This is Shadows of Connection: a monochrome art collection that doesn’t sugarcoat the digital experience. It confronts it.
The System Is Always Watching
This isn’t just about social media.
It’s about surveillance.
Corporations. Governments. Creeps in your inbox. Everyone wants a piece of you. And they’re all getting it—one click at a time.
The work in this series isn’t here to be “pretty.” It’s designed to make you stop and look again, not with shock value, but with truth.
This is about the version of you that’s been flattened into data. The persona you curate online. The algorithm decides what you see, what you buy, and who you believe.
The Art Behind the Screen
This isn’t aesthetic for aesthetic’s sake.
Shadows of Connection was digitally crafted with intent—designed to feel as raw and intrusive as the digital spaces that inspired it.
The stark contrast of black, white, and gray doesn’t soften the message. It strips away the noise. Each piece invites you to sit with discomfort, to notice what’s not being said, and to see what’s hiding in plain sight.
These aren’t just images. They’re confrontations with ourselves, with surveillance, with the endless scroll.
Digital Duality: A Mirror to Your Soul
Who are we when we post? Who are we when we scroll?
Shadows of Connection dives headfirst into the tension between who we are and who we perform as online. It asks the question no platform wants you to think about:
Are you in control of your identity online, or are you a curated projection of someone else’s agenda?
A Look Beneath the Surface
This isn’t just art.
This is what’s happening behind the scenes of your screen.
The likes. The surveillance. The dopamine loops. The carefully built platforms that sell your attention to the highest bidder. The quiet panic of not being seen—and the strange relief in disappearing.
This collection is a reminder: none of this is neutral.
Step Into the Shadows
Shadows of Connection is for those who see through the noise.
Who asks the uncomfortable questions?
Who wants their walls to hold more than decoration?
It’s for the ones who know that the internet didn’t just change how we connect—it changed who we are.
