Persona explores the fluid nature of identity and invites viewers to reflect on the ever-changing version of themselves that they present to the outside world. The installation shows a genderless, emotionless face in an unstable, ever-changing emotional world.
As the encoder is turned, the identity changes semi-unpredictably, accompanied by a soundscape of synchronized sound loops. The halves of the psyche and the synchronized melodies combine to give an impression of the inner, inexpressible emotions. The work invites you to explore your own persona.
