Might Delete: Share the Reflected Narrative

Might Delete: Share the Reflective Narrative was on display at Canal Street Market during NYCxDESIGN, May 18-25.

For Might Delete: Share the Reflected Narrative, designers and makers were tasked to create reflective objects where the viewer can project their current selves onto. It is up to them to determine what pictures they'll take, upload, and might delete.

Reflective objects, such as mirrors, allow identity and environment to intertwine within a single frame. The exploration of self through material objects prompts reflection about our being, belongings, and spaces. The selfie both a constraint and a freedom. We curate which elements of our identity and chosen environment are seen. Selfies invite others to approve or disapprove our interests and attitudes. Captions like “felt cute, might delete” grant us permission to retract the action and explore a different avenue.
