‘Insta Selfie 2’ carries several layers of social commentary. It is a painting of a woman taking a photograph of herself. This piece mirrors the social media trends surrounding holiday photos, which became popular in the late 2010s, particularly with the growth of Instagram. In what appears to be a stretch or a yoga pose, the young woman is posing for an image that she will most likely edit and share for others to see. She is projecting a picture of wellness, enjoyment and a life of luxury, by documenting her life in this way. The positioning of the woman’s mobile phone is interesting, because it is propped up against Richard David Precht’s book ‘Sei du Selbst,’ which translates into English as ‘Be Yourself.’ Precht is a prominent German contemporary philosopher whose work deals with questions of being, human action, perception and identity. The quote ‘sei du selbst’ leads to the question: which self? Is the selfie the woman is taking an adequate and accurate documentation of the self in this scenario? Are the digital and physical selves interchangeable?
