Where does identity begin and end? Questions posed in our daily lives aim to define us: our gender, nationality, ethnicity, sexuality, even profession; tucked neatly in our back pockets along with our name and age, ready to hand over whenever asked the most existential of questions: 

“Who are you?” 

But are these answers truly our own? This project challenges the notion of identity as something fixed, exposing how state and corporate institutions impose rigid definitions to categorise, and self regulate. Using the passport, a document that dictates not only who we are but where we belong, the work deconstructs this system, questioning the constraints placed on selfhood. 

Through fragmented imagery, erased faces, and reconstructed narratives, individuals who defy these binary definitions are reimagined and packaged into products, asking the question: Who decides who we are?
