About the artwork
"Modern Love" explores our profound bond with smartphones, which have shaped our world since 2007. This video reflects how these devices have become extensions of ourselves, influencing love and identity. The characters portray this fusion, with one wearing an oriental mask that flips to reveal and hide the user's face, symbolising our curated online identities.

Listen to Alsoguppyme discuss this work.
Alsoguppyme makes surreal images out of the ordinary, twisting them until they feel both funny and unsettling. Midlife shifts leak into the work — the cracks, the restlessness, the changes you don’t quite have words for. She follows those glitches as they turn into strange reflections of daily life.
