Identity

I love this quote by Chuck Palahniuk, a journalist and author: "If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?"

This can be considered something a fiction author would be expected to say, see as how they are employer to make-up people and personalities, but the same can be applied to a lot of artists. I know my goal as an artist is to create "alternate existences" of sorts, where characters can be who you want of don't want them to be.

I want to be able to imagine myself waking up in a city where no one knows me as Jenee' Jones; 21; black female; photo student and waitress. I want to imagine waking up in that city and not knowing myself as that person.

P.S. No, I don't know who the creator of the attached image is, but I would like to :-)
