Social media are at their core something fantastic, but they can lead their users to create an online persona that does not correspond in all aspects to their own character. A possible outcome is to feel disconnected from themselves, or fragmented. When you ever felt such a thing and tried to reflect all these pieces and your own relationship with them, then this poetic game will resonate with you. It is like a beautifully designed and short journey into our thoughts in the digital age.
