#Collage

A collage is the modern magician's trick of gathering society's discarded scraps of paper, photographs, and fabric and forcefully declaring them 'art.' The histories and stories embedded in the fragments are often ignored, while the assemblage of colors and shapes parades itself as a profound message. Viewers strain their eyes hunting for meaning, only to find a chaos of disconnected signals. In the end, it's a complete experience only when one realizes it's merely repainting a messy room on gallery walls.

A digital scrapbook is a playground where your narcissism and fragments of the past coalesce, building a mountain of data far heavier than any paper keepsake. Countless photos, texts, and URLs tangle into aesthetic shards unintelligible to others. The act of archiving becomes an end in itself, while the memories evaporate at the click of a view button. Time spent organizing files can exceed the time you'd spend actually living those memories. Truly, it is an electronic labyrinth born of self-love and sloth.
