Because of rapid developments in science and technology and continuous advancement of the virtual world, the boundaries between the physical and the virtual worlds are becoming increasingly blurred. People's development of Physical Identity is getting weaker and weaker, but they are paying more attention to the development of their Virtual Identity. This phenomenon is more and more common and significant among the Generation Z group. When people become obsessed with the aesthetics and improvement of their virtual identity, they often ignore their own identity in the real world. Thus, it is valuable to reflect on whether our virtual identity is real.

Because of rapid developments in science and technology and continuous advancement of the virtual world, the boundaries between the physical and the digital worlds are becoming increasingly blurred. Although the establishment and development of virtual identity can cover up many shortcomings of physical identity, it is only a way to enrich human real-life identity.
In this project, we will reflect on whether the virtual self is real, and use the combination of virtual and physical images to form a set of installation designs. The projection of the real-life figures on the medium will form a complete pattern, which is used to express people's virtual identities.
