For My ideas i have decided to use beach junk e.g Sea Glass, Sea pottery, As i think that it would relate to the lack or loss of identity if i place over the picture.

Sea Glass meaning and history:

Naturally produced sea glass (“genuine sea glass“) originates as pieces of glass from broken bottles, broken tableware, or even shipwrecks, which are rolled and tumbled in the ocean for years until all of their edges are rounded off, and the slickness of the glass has been worn to a frosted appearance.

 

Sea pottery meaning and history:

 

Sea pottery (also known as “sea china” or “sea porcelain” or “beach pottery”) is pottery which is broken into worn pieces and shards and found on beaches along oceans or large lakes. Sea pottery has been tumbled and smoothed by the water and sand, creating small pieces of smooth, frosted pottery. It is often collected with more common sea glass by beachcombers.

 

Beach Junk meaning and History:

beach junk can also be known as jetsam this is wear unwanted material or goods that have been thrown overboard from a ship and washed ashore, especially material that has been discarded to lighten the vessel.

i thought that i would have two different photos of member of family, For example i would have a younger generation vs  Older generation. Then i would place the sea glass and beach pottery over the photo to disfigure it and then i would use the beach junk to cover the photo in places this would represent loss of identity.
