This project creates a portrait of a contemporary man living «inside the computer». Such environment has became equivalent to him for long already, and also much closer and more comfortable than the reality itself. I imagine myself a sort of operating system, something like Mac OS, stuffed with the programs Love, Creativity, WorkXPress, Education, LJ.All the windows hang in the air at different heights, just like in a real computer.

The project is dedicated to the way in which the contemporary woman perceives herself; her hopes and fears.
The cult of the superficial has risen to a maximum in society and the woman has become afraid of getting old.
This section shows the idealised concept of beauty, its fragility and future, the fear associated with it and emptiness through the image of a child.
