Self Identity
– the difference between how you see yourself and how others see you.
– how you want to come across to others
– how you actually come across to others
(the subtle and obvious differences between the two)
– the feeling of a lack of control over your own identity
(the issues and situations conflicting and dictating this)
– how things out of your control can instantly affect your identity
– how you can change your identity for the better.
– how your identity can change as you grow and mature – how it can change without you realising.
– the art of altering your identity.

I’m aiming to communicate these points throughout my final pieces and to explain my thought processes and opinions surrounding ‘self-identity’ whilst incorporating elements of the ‘lack or loss of identity’.
