Reconstructing Practice

The works showcased portrays and discusses a fine line between the identity shaped around being rejected and dismissed in society because of believing in a truth and a self that is dissimilar to the mass and what has been brought down to us. It’s a contradiction between conforming to the set standards, of what is expected of you to become, the fighting of one’s own authenticity while struggling and longing to fall back into one’s own self.

The expression regarding the complicated struggle of placing oneself in an unaccepting society, adopting ideals passed down by parents and peers, whilst building a sense of being and how other’s expectations plays a huge toll in determining an individual’s experience, identity, the state chosen to live and exist. Being caught up in the person that is needed to be owned and grow into and the same person one aches to escape from. My work proposes the need for an awareness of identity and self to be able to recreate the principles that have suppressed and bind us, existentially, potentially, and individually resulting in change as a collective.

In the process of finding your own truth, a journey of realisation and a path of being disintegrated internally of old ideals in order to build oneself back up again on a foundation of subjective Truth is conducted. Old repetitive ideals and cycles passed down from individuals outside of us is deconstructed. Paradigms are shifted from a place of self awareness, unlocking one’s potential, and evolvement as a Being to carry out our purpose and calling develops. Boundaries are recreated. Ideas, beliefs, and concepts are redesigned and introduced to disassemble the old system that has been weighing us down resulting in reinvention of the Self.
