Morgan's Final Video

“Mask, I am” is apiece about identity and the confusion it can bring. I originally started out wanting to create a piece that showed the material aspect of the identity and self and it became something not only about the materialness of identity or the mask in the video many of the hidden truths or “I am”s in the piece. In the sound of the video I am reading the dictionary definition of identity as a part of the materiality or literal understanding of identity, which is not how we always think of it. The “I am”s correspond with the ripping of the masks off of the face in trying to reveal a hidden self, or a true self, which there are many of. For me the piece is also a little dark because, the masks look almost like a second skin so the line between what is “true” identity and what is “fake” are not always clear.
