In the era of digital connectivity, the project 
"Data Portraits" navigates the intricate 
landscapes of privacy within the realms of Instagram, LinkedIn, Bumble, and WhatsApp. Through an Augmented Reality (AR) series, the project presents the author's profile 
pictures of each platform as a metaphorical lens 
to dissect the nuanced interplay between 
corporate data collection and the unseen data 
mosaics the users contribute to. Each pixel 
represents the tiny pieces that add to the 
bigger picture within the huge amounts of data 
a person creates on their own every day. 
Combining the visual aspect with the 
interactive, informational layer is key for each of the AR scenes.The project challenges viewers to be aware of the cost of their online presence, urging a discourse on evolving privacy norms in the 
social media landscape.
