Our identities are curated like our online profiles to reflect only the parts of ourselves we chose to keep alive. Who am I? Who are you? What does my life mean? Why am I alive? Mann&#8217;s work aims to address these very illusive questions, and explore, but not necessarily answer all of them.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Mission accomplished.<\/p>\n<p><em>ps.
