MotU #7 and MotU #8, from the series Mirrors of the Unseen, feature words and symbols that seem to float in the space like holograms, which observers can only perceive as afterimages using specific viewing modes. MotU is thus a strictly individual experience, which questions the credibility and objectivity of visual sources. It is a highly topical issue in the age of image manipulation and fake news.

The content addresses the consequences of big data and algorithms.
