Definition:

Identity is the fact of being who or what a person or thing is. identity is a very personal subject as every person has a different identity, and can be influenced by a person’s situation, living environment, lifestyle, etc. For example, people brought up in a religious household, will be more likely to have religious views and beliefs, and these beliefs therefor become a part of their identity. However, identities are always changing, and that means that their views on different subjects and feelings towards different things will change as well. There are several different types of identity, including:

Gender identity – The self-perception of their own and other people’s roles based on their gender
Cultural identity – Belonging to a group of people and a culture, such as a religion or community, which influence a person’s life.
Social identity – how people identify and view others around them in society.

Geographical identity /political identity –  a sense of attachment to a place or political agenda that a person can relate and identify with.

Lack/Loss of identity –  The psychological view that a person has no role in society and lacks a sense of community, often brought on by the confusion of not knowing the kind of person you are and what role you play in society.

Mood Board:

I wanted to explore the ideas of the lack/loss of identity, as i feel there is a lot of room for exploring different techniques. Below are some ideas for the type of ideas that could influence my final piece of work for this unit.
