The work I created in the past few days is :
1. Not my style of work
2. Not the work I would like companies to judge me on
3. Not the right visuals to express my idea of identity
It is only touching on the topic, not going in-depth and expressing the true issue. It is also very cliche images, where I want to create something new and exciting.
I have always had an issue with expressing myself, hence, I would need a text to influence me to create visuals. I typically like to create work where my audience can relate to. The best way to do that in this situation is to get their personal stories on the identity issues they face. Hence, I will be asking “What’s an identity clash you’ve experienced between your cultural & personal identity as ‘A Saudi’?” On a daadedris.sarahah.com, a website that lets people answer anonymously. From peoples responses, I will create a collage on identity issue of “a Saudi” not “of Saudi”
The only problem is, will everyone share their issues?
