Bubbelgum Love reflects on the contradictions of people’s authenticity in a world of mass media and advertising. Are your character and prejudices mass fabricated by your view of the biggest influencers or a real depiction of your own opinions and

beliefs? The image of the girl presents a symbol of the ‘sweet life’ imposed by the standards of society that surrounds us. But, in fact, this glossy style is simply empty candy wrappers. Even ‘love’ becomes an empty bubble that you can pierce.
