The project was inspired by the failures and bugs in the popular beauty apps, where unnatural bodies get distorted. She used photography as a starting point, alongside digital tools to create an expressive project that is both a critique and a celebration of the ongoing progress in contemporary technology and culture.
She used many methods of creating images: preparing three-dimensional collages constructed from stock images and her own portraits, photographing the scenes, printing in large sizes, physically manipulating prints, and digitally editing selected photos. In the final work, she tried to leave visible traces of digital processing, partly revealing her working methods in order to provoke discussion about contemporary photography.
