filters, social media, and contemporary beauty standards influence young people\u2019s self-image and identity. While in progress, the piece focuses on the generation growing up within the \u201cimage culture\u201d and investigates how this condition affects the body, expression, and self-perception, highlighting the psychosocial pressures of the era of filters. The work explores how artistic research for the creation of a performative installation can evolve through a process of artistic education. It is a continuation from <em>m[e]rror<\/em>, which was presented as part of the Open Up Festival, under the mentorship of Lia Charaki. Part of the research was created and developed within the framework of <em>Artists in Process 2025: Collaboration<\/em> at Dance House Lefkosia, with an emphasis on dramaturgy as a collaborative praxis \u2014 a combination of theory and practice \u2014 led by Christos Polymenakos.
