Hanif James – Lost Identity
“Beyond Self” consists of two photographic works namely, “Mirrored Identity” and “Reshaped Identity”. The pieces attempt to convey the contrasting difference between the ever-changing and dynamic internal identities that we choose, and the rigidly defined identity of the body we are given. However, in an effort to explore the many identities we choose for ourselves, we can easily be lost in finding out who we really are. Perhaps, the mystery of who we are is revealed in submitting the internal identity to the given singular bodily identity and the two become one seamless envelope flowing into each other.
