IDENTITY (thesis related work)
My area of inquiry is the intersectional analysis on identity, gender and sexuality with valuation, or estimation of myself in deconstructing my own identity. This work serves as a self reflection of personal growth and development, while at the same time acknowledging political issues within the queer community.

AKHILANDESHWARI
The piece serves as a commentary on identity, gender, and semiotics that reflect a spectrum of fluidity and diversity. We are comprised of an amalgamation of bodies, memories and feelings, some of which develop organically, from a holistic experience derived from a community of social interactions and engagements. Our identities are in continual flux. When identity ceases to change, it ceases to exist. Akhilandeshwari is a Hindu deity, known as the “Goddess who is never not broken.” She acquires her power from being physically broken, allowing herself to transition into something new and unfathomable without limitations. I wanted to reinforce this notion of a fluctuating identity by collaging myself into a moving kaleidoscope to promote a limitless state of being.
