DENISE KHACHABA- UNMADE
The project explores identity as a complex and constantly evolving construction.
Far from being something stable or defined, identity emerges as a layering of visual, cultural and symbolic elements that overlap and change over time.
Through two female bodies, the work does not represent distinct individuals, but different manifestations of the same identity, which is built through what it wears, what it shows and the way it chooses to appear.
Identity is therefore understood not as an essence, but as a process.
The images develop a reflection on identity as something unstable and contradictory.
Objects, clothing, and attitudes become tools through which the body defines itself, but also elements that call its authenticity into question.
The presence of artificial and constructed elements suggests an assembled identity, while the portrait introduces a more intimate dimension, however marked by imperfections and traces.
Finally, the punk aesthetic represents a form of assertion and rupture: a declared, performed identity that rejects the idea of being coherent or linear.
The project thus moves between construction and truth, between what one is and what one chooses to become.
