We live in the information age. Computer technology has reached the level of augmented reality and surrounds us everywhere. In such conditions, it is not at all surprising that an increasing number of people prefer to abandon real life and create their own virtual reality. They live entirely on the Internet: they have virtual love, friendship, and even express their emotions electronically.

In this project, it is important for me to convey the feeling of the dissolution of personality in the information flow, and I build my aesthetics under the impression of the era of virtual reality. I am interested in the emotional content of the drama of our time: high technologies, the defenselessness of a person “on the net” not only in front of himself.
