A Two-Year Journey & Transformation
What is identity? Is it just how we look, where we live, or the roles we play? Over two years, I recorded my transformation—from clean-shaven to a long beard, from short hair to flowing locks—exploring the complex, ever-changing concept of identity. This video isn’t just a visual journey; it’s a reflection on how identity is shaped by appearance, actions, relationships, and the courage to let go of who we think we are. Through my changing appearance, I ask:
- Is identity more than how we identify—our masculinity or femininity?
- Is it more than our jobs, our families, or the stories we tell ourselves?
- Is it something we can define, or is it constantly evolving?
Identity is elusive, complex, and deeply personal. It’s all of these things and none of them. So, I leave you with one question: Who are you?

Is it more than who are families are?
Our parents?

Is it more than saying, “I am me.
The time is now. Let’s begin.”?
Identity can’t be found
Or fabricated.
Identity emerges
with the courage to let go.
Identity is elusive.
Identity is complex.
Identity is always changing.
Identity is all of this.
Identity is none of this.
So I ask you,
who
are
you?
