In the contemporary socio-cultural landscape, there has been a significant paradigm shift from a mode of mere representation to one characterized by simulation.

Herein, the semiotic signs and visual images that once served as reflections of empirical reality have transformed into autonomous systems—entities that obscure the void of reality itself.

This phenomenon, often referred to as 'hyperreality,' manifests with pervasive intensity across various mediums, including mainstream media, advertising frameworks, and digital platforms.

Consequently, appearances are commodified and consumed as the prevailing 'truth,' thus precipitating a diminishment of traditional epistemological constructs surrounding the concept of truth, effectively rendering them obsolete in the face of such simulated realities.
