+BackPlaces is a web-based anthology that explores intimate and +emotional spaces on the internet. It consists of four pages, each +embodying an archetype. The sunrise, the nosebleed, the star, and the +hand.
+These pages trace a thread of online emotions: of shared grief, +collective processing through writing, youthful excitement, and finally, +of being on or off the internet. They present stories in the formats in +which they were originally told, allowing you to imagine yourself as one +of these pages, wearing your own clothing as a costume and reenacting +the play of your first kiss.
+This project tenderly pays tribute to the rawest emotions found +online. It seeks to diversify the conversation by reminding us that the +internet is a reflection of the people and feelings that inhabit it. The +web is an artifice—a house built by others where we live and communicate +together. If we all left, the internet might cease to exist.
+However, the internet can be a harsh landscape where sensitive +individuals find refuge in backplaces, rooms where they can be more than +their physical selves allow. Here, they meet, whisper secrets, share +laughter and pain, and grow together until they move on. These stories +reflect these moments, drawn from the collective knowledge of people +I’ve loved online. Their words have been woven into stories to protect +and celebrate them. Some were social media comments, some were friends +sharing cake, some were emails, and some were conversations.
