Untitled | Red Braids
“Untitled | Red Braids” by artist Renée LoBue is an introspective exploration of the digital personas we craft in the age of social media. This audiovisual installation, featuring a fantasy self-portrait paired with a thought-provoking audio narrative, examines the fine line between authenticity and illusion. Through the striking imagery of red braids and a reflective soundscape, LoBue invites audiences to question the curated realities we present online and their effect on our true selves and relationships.

I’m drenched in the sadness she feels on seeing trees ripped from the earth, beloved birds almost gone from the water’s edge, and that twinge of hope on glimpsing them again.” — Sarah Jane Butler @SarahLooseLeaf
