The name who first introduced the concept of #selfie is Jennifer Lee. Selfie means that individuals take their own picture. These selfies are shared to every social media platform that people can see. While selfie was just an entertainment for people in the beginning, with the spread of digitalization, this situation has now taken on various identities. Social, Ethnicity, Gender & Sexuality, Celebrity & Entertainment Industry, Work are some of these identities. Taking on various identities, selfie represents many thoughts today. While defending any idea, taking a selfie with objects representing this thought and publishing our thoughts on social media can be the beginning of this trend of thought and make it remarkable for people. Apart from that, people can acquire different identities by forming a new view around these thoughts. Thanks to these identities, people's feelings and thoughts against religion, politics, gender identity, politics and economy are formed. If we consider today's digitalized society, even sharing an ordinary photo can be enough to spread an idea. These photos are made remarkable by embellishing certain objects with stickers. These thought performances, edited through photographs, enable people to explore further and witness a new idea.
