A mask can serve to conceal one’s emotions and protect oneself through the enigma. In this work, distorted figures try to escape outside a body, like emanations of repressed and latent emotions, soon ending up disintegrating as incomplete and unrelated data. They are absorbed within a magma that gradually loses its organicity to convey into a disorganized digital matrix.

Aura is a digital art video from the Altered Ego Series by APOTROPIA: a series of video artworks that explores the de-materialization of human identity in the digital world.
