Cyberlove Description

"I got out of a long-term relationship and found myself immersed in the world of app dating and swipe culture where there’s too much choice, which in turn made me feel super anxious and disconnected. It can feel like a video game where people are endlessly swiping to achieve validation. cyberlove is a slightly dark take on the difficulties of trying to connect behind the screen, while still retaining that optimistic and fundamental human desire to connect and find love.”
