After the first session with Faisal I began to consider what could signify identity; perhaps family, possessions, environment, ideology, morality, the list goes on. It soon became apparent to me that all of these things were neatly combined in an environment only I control: my room.
My room reflects my inner contradictions and idiosyncrasies perfectly, I want it to appear beautiful and serene but when left to my own devices it quickly becomes messy and disorganised, perhaps (however unfortunately) as I do. It represents the division and inner battle between how I want to appear and how I actually am.
I also considered how the possessions present in my room represent me. My room is filled with books and magazines and objects all representing choices made by me, not to mention the furniture and how it is decorated. It explicitly expresses my taste my interests and my passions.
This led me to fusing images of my room in different states and then of myself and my room, creating these images.
Continuing on from their work on silhouettes with Faisal, we also looked at the works of Tim Noble and Sue Webster followed by Arman's 'Dustbin' project. Both works use discarded objects to question the idea of identity. We used these images to create our own character silhouettes using found objects.
