A pair of emoji eyes oddly grafted onto a brain ‘nose,’ gaze to the right, reflecting the troubling ascent of right-wing ideologies globally, filtered and warped through the lens of social media. The work critiques how these platforms distort reality, reducing complex sociopolitical shifts to simplistic visuals.
