Identity explores the quiet burden of becoming who others expect us to be.
Not every mask is something we choose to wear. Some are assigned to us through expectations, circumstances, or experiences beyond our control. Over time, the roles we are given can become so deeply ingrained that the distinction between who we are and who we're expected to be begins to disappear.
The strained expression suggests something beyond anger—a sense of weariness, perhaps even resignation. The mask no longer conceals the person beneath it. It has become indistinguishable from them.
Identity asks a difficult question: Did we lose ourselves in the roles we were given, or were we ever given the freedom to become ourselves in the first place?
