A LIE TOLD IN PIXELS, BELIEVED İN LIKES
“FAKE STORY!” spins the absurdity of modern identity through a visual glitch of fiction and filtered truth. The character isn’t telling a lie—it is the lie, crafted pixel by pixel from cultural masks, ironic gestures, and exaggerated emotions. Its existence is a rebellion against reality, where performance replaces personality.
This piece doesn’t ask you to decode it; it dares you to admit you’re part of it. With comic-book aesthetics and digital chaos, it critiques the stories we curate to be liked, followed, or consumed. The language of fantasy merges with consumer symbols, warping sincerity into spectacle.
It’s satire dressed in candy colors. “FAKE STORY!” exposes the drama of self-invention—where filters blur facts, and attention is currency. It isn’t just a portrait; it’s a warning: the more we pretend, the less we exist.
