Maybe Tomorrow I’ll Know

Artist’s NoteThis piece delves into the dynamic nature of personal identity and the fluidity of self-expression. It reflects the idea that our sense of self is constantly evolving, never fully fixed, as symbolized by the four faces, each representing a different phase in the journey toward self-discovery. These faces are "in transit," signifying that they are at various stages of exploration, uncertainty, and transformation, still seeking to define who they are or who they want to become.

The faces express a sense of being caught in a perpetual state of flux, unable to fully grasp or solidify their identity. They describe feeling like the "default" version of themselves, suggesting an undefined, unfinished, or perhaps even generic version, as if they're waiting for a moment of realization or clarity to arrive. The imagery of “tripping over” into self-awareness evokes the unpredictability of personal growth—how we often stumble into new realizations by accident rather than through deliberate effort.

I have tried to capture the universal tension between the desire for self-knowledge and the recognition that identity is always in a state of becoming. I always feel like I am stuck in a limbo of being the default, always waiting that maybe I’ll
trip over and find who I truly am in the next step. Perhaps I can never be static, maybe I will never see my undiluted self.

Maybe tomorrow I’ll know. BioAnuja Vare is currently a student of communication design and is actively exploring new materials and mediums.  Her interest in art has been apparent from a young age. But recently her interest has been guided by intention. You can find her work here: @_achar_vihar.
