ABOUT
VIEWPOINT
My current work is an attempt to observe the condition of the self in contemporary society, starting from my personal perspective and experience as it is the only one I can accurately depict. A visual research in the sphere of the term ‘identity’ is done as such.
Identity is shaped by socio-cultural phenomena: the value one gives to oneself is strongly tied to how the individual is perceived by his social context. Said occurrences lead to the development of complex dynamics, my focus lies in the following points:
Personal and cultural identity. Sense of identity related to second generation immigrants. Evolution of classism : socioeconomic, racial/ethnic and sexual. Identity and religious institutions. Should the sense of community be prioritized to the sense of individuality? Individuality and narcissism related to the age of social media.
