Who am I beneath the layers?

Identity Crisis explores the feeling of being constantly reshaped by experiences, memories, expectations, and the stories we tell ourselves. Built from a collision of different media—photography, collage, handwritten notes, sketches, paint textures, and found fragments—the portrait exists in a state of reconstruction, never fully finished and never entirely certain of its final form.

The stitched lips, fragmented surfaces, and scattered annotations reveal traces of countless revisions: versions kept, versions discarded, and versions still waiting to emerge. Small clues hidden throughout the piece suggest an ongoing process of editing, questioning, and becoming.

Rather than presenting a fixed identity, this work embraces the idea that we are all unfinished compositions—assembled from many influences, continually rewritten, and forever in progress.

"Who am I today?" may never have a final answer, and perhaps that's the point. 💜
