In this project, I wanted to explore the difference between how the 2000s have been perceived in the media in recent years with the Y2K aesthetic taking over social media such as TikTok and Instagram, and how the 2000s actually were based on my limited memory, old family photos and opinions from other people. You can see within my photos how I have created these two very contrasting "aesthetics" and started to have them seep into each other.
