( PENDING DEFINITION )

(Pending Definition) investigates the instability of the concept of identity, proposing a reflection on how the Self is formed in a constant field of tension between the intimate and the external. Rather than presenting identity as something fixed or fully recognizable, the work reveals its fluidity, at times as construction, fragment, or desire.

The material reflects an internal struggle for personal definition within a space saturated with voices, images, and expectations that shape, obscure, or distort self-recognition. The influence of the other, whether social, familial, or symbolic, runs through the piece as a constant presence, sometimes as a guide, sometimes as noise.

The form, often ambiguous or in transformation, refuses definitive answers. There is a visible effort to grasp at an essence that slips away, resisting definition. In this process, identity reveals itself less as a destiny and more as a transitional state, a limbo between what one is, what one hopes to be, and what one never was.
