– About the project –
I have always considered myself Norwegian and felt Norwegian. In childhood, fitting in was important. "Settlement of identity" is a project where I confront myself and my own identity to get to know my other half, which is Czech and Persian. With this, I wanted to accept and establish a relationship with my ethnicity and identity. Therefore, I stepped out of my comfort zone to explore how Persian and Czech I could appear. What if my Norwegian half was the foreign one? Who would I have been, and who am I?
