    • FAKE
    Aileen Sweeney

    Description

    Studies have shown there are links between Facebook usage and depression. Users only tend to share high points in their lives such as engagements, new cars or
    expensive holidays. People generally choose to completely avoid sharing their low points
    in life. Facebook has also been shown to fuel narcissism. Users post pictures of themselves, usually with some sort of filter or effect, in order to create their own ideal image and gain
    approval from their peers. "Fake" draws inspiration from the way in which people utilise
    social media, in particular Facebook, in order to share a selected perfect view of their lives. This in turn creates a false image to others, often resulting in depression, loneliness and
    low self-esteem. Despite all of this, I’m still addicted to it.
