First Steps

No pictures today, but I have been giving a lot of consideration to this theme. First, the usual word association:

Identity Theft

Stolen Identity

Mistaken Identity

Secret Identity

Identity Card

Lack of identity

Non-entity

Identity Crisis

Corporate identity (logos, etc.)

Brand identity

Identity Crisis

Hmm, secret identity sounds fun! But I also live and die by my identity card, or more correctly, by my husband's identity card (him being in the military and all). Fingerprints and DNA are unique to each of our identities. Yet, for as singular as one's fingerprint or DNA is, one's identity can be quite multifaceted. Are you one person at home, and a different one at work? Does yet another side come out with close friends? Does one identity (such as being a parent) affect another (such as your pre-familial professional career)? Does the world see a different identity than you see in yourself?

I've been considering this multiplicity and I think I finally have a direction. I keep thinking of Heisenberg's microscope, but that's not quite it. Perceptual bias may be a more accurate term. I don't want to give too much away just yet though...
