Abstract

Identity is both the self-image and the social construct that guides our behavior. We see ourselves through the concepts others have of us and the groups we belong to, and perform identities under the impact of the surrounding conditions. Identity, therefore, becomes a duplicated phenomenon – I am both myself and a project I make of myself. In my thesis, I investigated the ambiguous anxiety to be in the liminal state between the alienation from my country of origin and the displacement at the current settlement.
