“Shadow Banned” examines the subtle censorship on social networks known as shadow banning. In the digital age, algorithms censor users without their knowledge, imposing moral codes influenced by American puritanism on a global scale. This targets content like nudity and specific hashtags, creating an illusion of free expression while isolating individuals.Social networks commodify words, hashtags, and images, fostering a world where attention equals success. This creates an invisible prison, masking the reality of censorship. Online identities become precious, with algorithms acting as morality police. Artists conform to these values to protect their careers, followers, and reputations, limiting their expression.

The series highlights this dystopian reality, where past taboos have evolved into sophisticated control mechanisms. The artworks, blending various techniques, form a surreal narrative, capturing the chaotic nature of a world driven by algorithms. “Shadow Banned” invites viewers to reflect on their roles in this digital landscape, balancing free expression and censorship, individuality and conformity.

By presenting these works, the artist exposes hidden censorship mechanisms, challenging perceptions of normalcy and freedom. “Shadow Banned” is a reminder of the fragile yet resilient nature of human expression in a controlled world, provoking dialogue about the future of art and identity in the digital age.
