I Think I Downloaded The Wrong Friends – ✞

I Think I Downloaded The Wrong Friends, 2020 – 2024

I Think I Downloaded the Wrong Friends is a series of 16 drawings created sporadically over four years, inspired by an intimate exchange of photographs within a private WhatsApp group. Each piece transforms uncanny, manipulated, or filtered images of two long-term couples into surreal and ambiguous artworks. The series explores themes of digital masks, sincerity, and the uncanny, blending humor and eeriness to question how we construct and perform identity in a hyper-mediated world. Playfully collaborative, the drawings reveal a tension between the familiar and the strange, inviting viewers to consider the ever-shifting boundaries between friendship, romance, authenticity, and the digital self.
