Altered Ego
Building an identity of the Self seems to be an increasingly complicated process for the contemporary human being. Individuals have always hidden behind layers of masks, characters that force us to close ourselves in conventional forms, and today we are witnessing a real digital materialization of our multiple selves. Masks are a means of defining our identity, but they are also cages from which it is difficult to free ourselves, which hide and cancel our true face.
