Look into heroes that have false identitys!. They literally wear masks because as heroes they cover their faces, but they also wear masks because they won't let the world see them for who they truly are!? Why won't they!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wow, this is a great category/theme for art! I can see all sorts of images: those struggling with sexual identity, the struggle for personal identity in a vast and impersonal world, even mistaken identity!.

I would do a study of writings about identity and let that lead you into an idea for your project!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What about a self-portrait!? Some of the greatest images in art are self-portraits!. (See Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Goya!.) Doesn't have to be a painting, but a drawing where you just look at yourself in the mirror and slowly draw what you see!. Even if you're not that experienced with drawing, I find that self-portraits bring out a kind of intensity and emotion that is hard to get other ways and is definitely about identity!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This can be interpreted in many ways!.
Think mystery, and see what picture comes to mind!.

Think sunlight, and do the same!.

Think moonlight and do the same!.

Think rain, and do the same!.

Think laughter, sadness, anger, young, old, etc!. etc!.
and see what picture comes into your mind!.

Identity is everywhere!.!.!.!.!.!.just look for it!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It sounds like you need to fins an identity!. Google is the best to get reference and see what you like and work from that!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
