Dare to be You (Series)
DESCRIPTION
How much of the Me that you see, is the real Me?
The need to comply with social norms, expectations of Self and Others, camouflages the Me that you see. How wonderful it would be if we could drop all pretence and just be ourselves.
These Photos examine our Identity underneath the social masks we wear. It is extremely uncomfortable in a Zentai Suit. It is too hot for Summer and too cold for Winter. Visibility is also limited. Even though no one can recognize You in the suit, You feel embarrassed by the imaginary stares and cannot just be Yourself.
Rediscover what lies beneath that face; to have the courage just to be you; to allow the World to fall in love with who you are. And to love the World for who They are.
AUTHOR
I am a Thai-born aspiring street photographer living in Singapore. Life is short and more fragile that we think. Each moment in life is important. Through my photos, I hope to capture these fleeting moments in life; both to document my emotions, my thoughts and lastly to tell a story through my "lens".
