‘In Search of a Haven’ is a socio-political critique that questions the inequalities inherent in set systems, speculating on a future where identification serves as a tool for liberation rather than control.

The concept of identity is deconstructed into four distinct realms: physical, digital, memory, and prospection. The project proposes that a “true” identity emerges at the intersection of these four dimensions.

The exhibition features an installation that encapsulates this research by mapping perceptions of identity onto a multilayered map. Each realm is represented on a separate panel, which, when layered together, creates a comprehensive map of personal identity that reflects the identities of two individuals at a specific moment in time.

The installation is accompanied by a book that includes the research, personal stories, and conclusions of the project.
