Multiple/Dynamic Identities - Banishment of Eden

Instead of being this androgyne- Plato’s androgyne – his metaphor for love in which we are bifurcated beings, constantly looking for our literal ‘other half’ in order to gain the illusive ‘wholeness’ of self, according to Haraway, we become this narrative-identities-by-nadia-troeman-12: a multitude identities, the possession of which causes no conflict as we no longer pine for  Eden as there is no recognition of a Golden Age in which we were in selfless union with some ‘whole’.  

The artwork to the left, the wheel, is by a student who wanted to represent our dynamic identities in a continuously evolving piece of art. The dynamism of the art represents the non-static nature of identities.
