Individual identity can be constrained by social constructions, in particular the concept of gender. Given complete control to construct one’s physical body, how would they reflect who they feel they are through it? My work proposes a constructed being, originally born into the world, but given control to choose their avatar. My work represents the psychological self in a shell that is devoid of gender stereotypes. What is feminine or masculine if the body is not born, but instead is constructed?
