media consumption= lost girl/soul

random effort- first time ever using a movie maker thing, supposed to be an abstract vision of a how people, especially young ones and the modern generation are driven by a digital media consumed world which is intended to help them communicate, etc. but really only leaves them trapped and losing their individual value and human quality, in the end the photo project I did was writing my own poetry and favorite quotes on myself because the only way we can survive and keep some of our own personality is to camouflage our thought within the rest of the media and digitalized world- so nobody will take interest or effort in caring to read poetry of a young model but they all look at half naked girls so this way, I might trick someone into reading what I write- simply because it's displayed on my skin..
