The act of Narcissism is similar in the act of worshipping, but to yourself. Inspired by the idea of religious actions that are done in process of worshiping a god or deity, the thought of bringing the physical actions of worship into narcissism was formed.

This project was done together with Bryan Yu as part of my studies under, Diploma in Visual Communication and Media Design at Singapore Polytechnic.
Narcissism refers to the obsession and admiration of oneself. As the digital age quickly made its transition, users are often encouraged to share their photographs online. This led to a social norm for anyone to take self-portraits or "selfies".
This artefact questions the purpose of taking selfies and posting them on social media. More often than not, we are more concerned of how presentable we look in our selfies online than the concern of other postings.
Everyone focus on himself or herself only while not paying enough attention to others anymore. The artefact attempts to probe if our narcissistic tendencies are gradually leading to a meaningless ritual of self-worshipping.
