Alienated Identity

2024.
Media: Object, installation.

Metamorphosis of self amidst the consuming force of conformity. A suspended light, acting as one’s true essence and inherent power, struggles to shine as it becomes enveloped by a dense tangle of black cables. This parasitic grip blurs the boundaries between light and darkness, between what’s authentic and what’s imposed, creating a space where the two merge almost inseparably.

ALIENATED IDENTITY captures the tension between a socially constructed persona—shaped by external pressures, invasive societal constructs, and inherited beliefs—and the inner self.
