SELF ABSOLVED
2016
In an attempt to understand the building blocks that form ideas of self in our current culture of selfies and social media, Mann explores the self, and how we curate and process our identities amid a culture of constant self-analysis and obsession. Can you absolve yourself of yourself if you look hard enough? An autobiographical series about coming of age into womanhood.
