Abstract
Our sense of self is heavily affected by the constructions of the world around us. This project will explore the different ways that systems of discrimination, constructions of identity, and battles between normativity and authenticity, craft continuously who we believe ourselves to be. By using my personal art, I will demonstrate how social construction is communicated even through our creative expression. This project aims to show how social construction appears through our creativity in forms of expression hereby in art. The intersection of art and social construction may help bridge the gap between academia and the world outside of it, helping us all learn from each other.
