‘Achievement Unlocked’ responds to gamification and the mundanity of life by commenting on the lack of fulfilment in reality in comparison to that in games. The work aims to highlight the allure of the digital world and the increasing opportunities to escape from reality by entering it. Exploring the comedic irony in the completion of the tedious tasks that exist in both realities, this project hopes to raise new questions about real and virtual worlds as they intersect.
