Abstract
Examining subjectivity and its association with a relocated body in diasporic circumstances has become the core concept of my work as an artist. I attempt to justify my own Being and comprehend the reflection of it through the framework of the Other. The historical discourse of otherness is embedded in Hegelian self-consciousness dialectic, which views the self as an impotent entity in recognition of itself. It also introduces the necessity of the Other in the process of the self composing its subjectivity. Although post-modern and post-structuralist thinkers later disputed this dichotomization in the structure of dialectic, the essence of Othering remains as a human cultural and historical residue.
