In the second set, I’m still exploring identity through water, but from a different angle. While the earlier photos showed my brother’s face distorted through a glass, quiet, fragile, and still, these new images capture him being hit with a splash of water. The water isn’t calm or constricted anymore; it’s wild, aggressive, and alive. This represents another side of growing up. Identity isn’t only shaped slowly and gradually; sometimes it’s also shaped by sudden moments, surprises, and experiences we are not aware of. In these photos, the water shifts from a static and distorted aesthetic to one that emphasizes movement and emotion. It shows more joy and the chaos that comes with being young. Both sets use water as a way of understanding how a child becomes themselves, but this time, the feeling is more playful and open. I want viewers to see that childhood isn’t just vulnerable, it’s also full of energy and unexpected moments that help shape who we are.
