Tianhu Yuan
Another Self (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Another Self is a part of my ongoing project about Nijigen teenagers in China. After a series of costumes, the young people completed their understanding of another possibility in their self-awareness. This state will be different results at different times and places, or by different observers. The consciousness makes an individual of identity.
Subconsciously, we have another self-individual. How do we look at and describe ourselves? The true self is hidden in the unconscious, so which one is the real self? The desires and emotions of the ego ultimately make us connect with them.
Our incomprehension is only due to our own narrowness.
