Spaces themselves can act as the veils to defend and liberate people’s identities, both physical, material spaces and the spaces created by people in a social plane. However, these places can act to either help discover that identity or can wear away at it. Everybody has a core – represented by concrete that is strong despite its deterioration at the hands of the spaces and people it finds itself in and amongst. The outermost veil is the most tangible representation of this, and as you work more inwards, you become more personal in your veils of defence and liberation. We aim to show that despite these layers, the innermost core of who you are can always shine through all these veils, no matter how dark they may be. However, there is a choice to be made:

Titled “semblance”, the sculpture shows its outward appearance and apparent form when the reality is perhaps different. Everybody’s core is different, and these veils sometimes filter who we are to the point of resemblance to one another despite diverse and unique inner cores. Everyone has an identity, and there is a choice to allow this vital core of oneself to show through its layers of people and pain and perceptions despite its flaws or to allow these layers to become who you are.
