I was just somebody else, some stranger. Exploring a new space is always full of curiosity, but doing so as someone who’s not yourself facilitates an experience that allows you to further explore yourself as a person. The masks you show to people, the intensities of the person that you want to portray yourself as, are revealed to you, as you seek to build an entirely new self. The United States is a land of promise, that you can be whoever you want to be; a statement suffused with a kind of fictional accuracy. The extremes people seem to go to in order to be anyone but themselves are ludicrous. I is just somebody else, a stranger.
The work takes inspiration from authors and Nomads like Kerouac and McCandless. The series serves as a falsified interpretation of a trip along the West Coast of The United States it America.
