There is something inherently vulnerable about technology’s ability to sequester. It has driven us further into social isolation while amplifying communication within itself. Mundane conversations have been lost as computer screens became the face of society. The sense of unfamiliarity brought new forms of intimacy online. 

The design presents the evolution of conversation on a web application, under the constraints of short prompts. Each page spread is a collection of conversations designed by the platform’s user— experienced as a collective, yet felt in a variety of ways on an individual level. It demands that each user’s individuality become one autonomous entity within a collective conversation. The theme of anonymity is experienced on a personal level due to the content’s subjectivity. In a greater sense, we are a collective entity made up of a multitude of identities and therefore diversified consciousness.
