The illusion of authenticity: A Digital Pandora Box *

SHORT FILM   2025

Illusion of Authenticity is a short film that follows the story of a young girl navigating identity in a highly digitized world. 

With a 1-week deadline, this video explores the idea of object-subject dualism concerning the dynamics between AI, fashion, and identity. With the increasing use of AI on fashion e-commerce platforms, fashion cores, and digital consumption, my video explores what if AI knew us better than we knew ourselves. Is it authentic to ourselves or just an illusion?

This project comes from a place of personal back and forth with aesthetics and cores and trying to use the internet as a way of finding myself.
