Recent technologies have fundamentally altered self-image, shifting focus from inner qualities to outward appearance, fostering a culture of narcissism through instant visual feedback.
The transition from delayed photo development to instant selfies has not only changed how we capture moments but also shifted our self-perception, merging first and third-person perspectives.
Photography allows an enduring snapshot of one’s self, offering an easier external assessment than a mirror, thus distorting one’s sense of reality versus image.
In today’s digital age, the constant stream of accessible images encourages a preoccupation with how we appear to others, amplifying the allure of narcissism.
