“Who am I?”
I believe my video, a combination of stop motion animation and performance/video, is the perfect visualization of a self-portrait of me. I find it very difficult to pick one experience that I have had that “makes me who I am.” This video represents how every experience I’ve gone through has shaped the person I am today. But, I know there’s still so much more to experience, so many people to meet, and a lot of growing left to do. These future experiences will continue to form new versions of myself. At the same time, I often struggle with the idea of truly “knowing who you are,” because I don’t believe there’s just one fixed version of me. I’m a completely different person than I was two years ago, or even compared to who I was just a month ago. This video captures the idea that I am who I am because of every experience I’ve had, every person in my life, my physical being, and everything that exists inside my head and heart. But when someone asks me, “Who are you?” I still struggle to find the words to fully explain who I am.
