Description
"Identity: the condition of being oneself or itself, and not another."
-Dictionary.com
The depth of this concept has always interested me. While a person or place acts as a definition of itself, a stronger descriptor is what outsiders see upon peering in. The comprehensive definition of identity includes everything a person or place is associated with, including what's found within or nearby. For example, friends define a person like its patrons define a store. Identity, in many ways, is perception and in today's society, perception equals reality.
By combining digitalphotography and geometric forms, I will create artworks thatvexplore the different facets of identity. Looking through different lenses, such as passed time, shared traits, or a different set of eyes completely, will aid me capturing these facets by becoming an outsider.
