Difference
Inspired by my summer project and personal experience, this project reflects on whether uniformity in contemporary social structures, such as schools and workplaces, limits individuals and weakens their sense of self. Drawing on philosophical theories, I explore the paradox of seeking uniqueness within sameness, while being constrained by the pressure to conform. The work evokes a constant feeling of surveillance and correction, as if the individual is always under the gaze of those who define societal rules. At the same time, the viewer is also drawn into this system, becoming part of the very mechanism of correction. Through subtle shifts in visual and auditory elements, I aim to make viewers aware of the delicate and unstable balance between conformity and individuality within social frameworks.
