The project is about decorations people build in social networks to impress others.

Social networks are permanently pushing us to create an alternative version of ourselves — a better, happier, more successful; you name it. While working on the "Manhattan" project, I wondered where the line was drawn between real life and decorations? At what point did "to seem" become more important than "to be"?

This photo series was taken in a photo studio in Dnipro, Ukraine, against the background of a film photo I shot during my stay in New York in 2017.
