To Be Without Saying So

This work is an exploration of my self-understanding.

Throughout the course of my MA research, I have been gradually peeling away the masks, labels, and societal constraints that have shaped my identity. I initially centered my inquiry around the question, "Who am I?"—a question that seemed essential, yet ultimately proved misleading. The deeper I pursued it, the further I strayed from any concrete answer.

In shedding the layers imposed upon me, I came to a quiet yet profound realization: the answer lies not in defining who I am, but in simply recognizing that I am. My pure existence—unadorned, unproven, and unapologetic—is the core truth. It needs no justification. Existence itself is everything.

This work presents that essence. It is a direct, unfiltered expression of me. It requires no elaborate explanation. What you see is me—my emotions, my relationships, my consciousness, and the universe I inhabit.
