I explore often-unvoiced histories, as well as the concepts of identity, community, beauty, value, and reciprocity, to examine how identity and community form the basis of human interactions, the social systems we create, and our framework for seeing the world. A key point of reflection is examining how identity is both a performance and a set of characteristics. Highlighting the subjectivity in how we frame the world and the concepts of “absolute truth” and “objectivity”, I use the arts to compel people to question their preexisting beliefs and ask themselves, “Why did I think that?” I examine how cultural perspectives and biases influence how we perceive stories and, in turn, the concept of truth. I want people to reflect on where their fundamental notions come from.
