Metaphor used:

Layers - represent the different aspects of the digital identity and the content we engage with on online platforms such as YouTube, and Pinterest. Each "layer" signifies a unique facet of online self, influenced by the recommendations and interactions on these platforms. The metaphor illustrates that your online identity is constructed, not static. It's influenced by the content you engage with, the algorithms that recommend it, and your interactions with others on digital platforms.

Intended Meaning:

I want to figure out how my online activities and the things I like shape who I am online. By looking at how I use the internet, I hope to learn more about what makes me 'me' in the digital space.
