Impersonation

When Batman puts on his dark suit and mask, he transforms himself to be something other than his usual self, Bruce Wayne. In the same sense, there’s a transformation that happens when we hide behind some cloak of anonymity. Like Batman, it can be used to fight evil or simply like my characters in Impersonation, to get the attention of someone we desire. The transformation allows a new self, one which is more comforting and enjoyable because the new self brings us closer to what we desire than our old self. However, in our pursuit we often forget that for better or for worse, our old self will eventually reveal itself. But if we could transform our minds and learn to accept who we are, we would not have to hide behind anything, that is unless your life was in danger while fighting terrifying criminals.

영화속 히어로가 변신 후 평소와 다른 모습으로 행동하는 것처럼 익명의 가면 뒤에 숨을 때의 변화와 이득이 있습니다. 가면으로 태어난 새로운 자아는 갈구하는 것들에 더 가까이 다가갈 수 있게 도와주기도 하지만 우리는 자신의 진짜 모습을 드러내야할 순간도 있다는 것을 종종 잊습니다.
