Memoji

I've been thinking a lot about Memojis and the identities we portray through our social profiles online. The person we show to others versus the person we look at in the mirror.

A few weeks ago I was working on a brand new project where I would have been the face of a non-profit that specialized in artists developing their new work. While creating the brand for this project I changed my social media icons to my Memoji. The likeness is very accurate. But, I suppose part of this was for a little online anonymity while working on something new. It was a relief to not have to worry about using "the perfect" photo of myself. Which is what made me think about the pressure we put on ourselves to represent ourselves on the internet, or represent who we think we should be.

I have since changed back to photos of me, in real life.
