Further Direction

For research: In this thesis, I have attempted to touch on various aspects of the effects of appearance and self-presentation on identity. Though moving forward, I would like to interrogate more in the physiological part of the self-presentation developed in human brains over centuries. This phenomenon can help better understand how some stereotype was formed in the first place.

For Design: With an exploration of design work, I wish to expand further and incorporate all suggestions that I received for my capstone project, ‘Mental mark’. I enjoyed working with the medium of exhibition design. In the future, I would explore more aspects of it be transformed into a multisensory experience or what other forms the installation can take.

In the future, I would like to experiment with designing a desired self through selfpresentation, and it would be interesting to observe changes in one’s persona. And investigate how material aesthetics can amplify one’s identity.
