Identity can be seen to be a complex set of circumstance
- Situation - Place -
Time and individual perspective.
Juxtaposition of images in my picture conjure up a complexity which symbolise the complex
nature of our lives.
The title, along with the picture speak for itself. Having multiple interpretations.
I want to show the idea of change, where we see through, and grow through the changes of life.
Yet at the same time we are shackled and anchored in chains were nothing much changes
( i.e.-we live in a physical three dimensional space, existing on a planet).
Flowers represent our inner self, with changes of spiritual development.
Where as in the exterior life we only have the one body, with the various changes of age
and physical limitations.
