The work is an interactive experience meant to explore the topic of self-expression through fragmentation into an ensemble of fictional characters. This phenomenon can most clearly, although not exclusively, be observed online, among subsets of creatives, often sharing a common interest in fan culture. How can a made-up person serve as an extension of their creator? When the characters in question are multiple, how do they all fit together in relation to each other? And most importantly, what picture do these modified, recontextualized, augmented or repressed parts of an original whole paint of their maker?
