Veils

Self and identity are often paired as the same connection to an internal understanding; however, distinctions between these two views can be described through subjective and objective perspectives. Through discovery of the disconnect between the sense of self and one’s identity, portrayals and false presentations can be distinguished. This theory plays with the idea of observation from the internal to the external, as well as the juxtaposition of our roles and the true self.
