In this fast-paced world, our identities are often defined by the city's skyscrapers and streets. However, when the familiar landscape is torn apart and reorganized, how will the boundaries of identity change?
In this newsletter, I reconstructed the entity of the city and tried to explore the fluidity of identity in uncertainty from a visual perspective.
The city is a narrative - buildings, roads, and signs together tell a certain consensus of "identity". But when these elements are broken, the city's narrative is no longer complete, but becomes a fragmented expression. This sense of fragmentation just reflects our identity in modern society: contradiction, overlap, and even loss.
In this creation, I used Photoshop technology to explore how vision can help us reflect on identity:
Twisting buildings and streets symbolizes the adaptation and deformation of identity in social rules.
Separating and reassembling urban elements reflects the deconstruction and reconstruction of identity.
Superimposing different materials and colors to simulate the blurred area between virtual and real in identity.
Another possibility of identity
This group of works is not an answer, but a question. Can we only find ourselves in the definition of the city? When the structure collapses, are there new possibilities for identity? In this experiment, I saw freedom and anxiety.
Your participation
If you have any thoughts or feelings about identity, please share them with me. In the next newsletter, I will invite some readers to join the discussion and continue this dialogue about identity and space.
