Digital avatars have become an essential way for people to represent themselves online. From simple profile icons to complex 3D characters, avatars allow users to craft identities that may reflect reality, imagination, or a blend of both. For artists, avatars provide a unique medium for exploring themes of identity, gender, race, and self-expression. Some create hyper-realistic versions of themselves, while others use surreal avatars to escape societal expectations. Platforms in the metaverse and gaming worlds have further expanded this practice, turning avatars into living artworks. The cultural impact is significant: identities once bound by physical appearance can now be fluid and experimental. Digital avatars blur the line between self and fiction, reshaping how we think about representation in contemporary art.
