Part 7/13:
The Construction of a Persona
Siwa's own words suggest a deliberate creation of a character manufactured for headlines and virality. She emphasizes that she doesn’t seek genuine approval but rather values being "seen and talked about." This mindset transforms her from a person into an attention-driven spectacle—an entertainment machine with little regard for authenticity or meaningful connection.
She candidly states her primary passion is “to entertain and make people smile,” even if that involves laughing at her or her antics. This indicates an acceptance, or perhaps an embrace, of her role as a performer or “clown”—someone whose visibility is maintained through shock and controversy.
