Identity

Artist Fatma Temel
Date October 25–November 30, 2024

Self-portraits tracing identity through witnessed stories and archives.

“Identity” consists of the artist's self-portraits , addressing her own identity through the stories she has witnessed and their corresponding archives.

My identity is my self-portraits, created with the stories and archives I have witnessed.

It is wild grasses, a red ink; my refuge, my mirror, my temple. It is what I am aware of and what I am not.

It is what I feel at my fingertips and what I feel alone in the flow of disappearance.
