Living In the Shadows

I’m always shifting who I am depending on where I am. At home, at work, with friends, or online, I take on slightly different identities. It feels like every space asks me to adjust, to put on a version of myself that fits.

To explore this, I created a mold of my face using plaster. I sanded it down and began carrying it with me into different environments to photograph it. The mold becomes a stand-in for me, a quiet witness that doesn’t change, even as the world around it does.

This project is a way of looking at the tension between who I feel I am and the identities I perform. By placing the mold in different settings, I’m studying how spaces shape me, how identity shifts, and what remains constant beneath it all.
