assembled identities

“Assembled Identities” is a fragmented portrait of humanity—an unconscious archive of limbs, gestures, and parts of bodies collected over years of photographing friends, strangers, and fleeting encounters. Much like Victor Frankenstein pieced together his creation from borrowed parts, I’ve come to realize that I, too, have been assembling something: a monster made not of flesh, but of glimpses and fragments, disjointed yet deeply connected.

These isolated body parts—an arm mid-gesture, a leg crossing a threshold, a hand suspended in thought—form a composite image of identity that resists wholeness. They reflect the way we often encounter each other in fragments: in passing, through memory, or filtered through screens. Assembled Identities explores how visual fragments can speak to intimacy, anonymity, and the complexity of human presence in a disjointed world.

It is a study in multiplicity and suggestion—where identity is never fixed, but always in the process of being formed.
