This video installation consists of three monitors,

each representing a different stage in the development of human personality.

The work explores how identity is shaped over time through the interaction

of genetic predispositions and environmental influences.

Photographs throughout the installation symbolize the impact of external factors on our lives,

while the drawing of a baby represents the genetic foundation that influences personality.

Masks and costumes serve as metaphors for the different identities we adopt,

and the Ferris wheel reflects the continuous cycle and progression of life.

 

The first monitor focuses on childhood.

Here, everything appears playful and fluid. Masks are changed depending on the situation,

illustrating how children experiment with different roles and behaviors.

Parental support is symbolized by hands guiding the child,

helping them transition into adolescence.

 

The second monitor represents puberty.

The pace of image changes becomes faster, and the simple masks evolve into more detailed

and complex costumes. This stage reflects a period of transformation and inner conflict,

where personality is in flux but gradually becomes more defined and stabilized.

​

The third monitor depicts adult life.

In contrast to earlier stages, the background now adapts to the character,

rather than the character adapting to the environment.

The images change more slowly, emphasizing a sense of stability and a consolidated identity.

However, sudden and rapid shifts in imagery—symbolizing trauma—suggest that even in adulthood,

personality remains capable of change.

​

At the end of the installation, the human figure transforms into a tree of wisdom,

illustrating the idea that, ultimately, only the spirit or essence of a person endures beyond the course of life.
