How is an ‘individual’ interpreted in today’s free society? How does one’s public identity coexist with personal identity? Roy generates a fascinating perspective on the world that we live in. On one side, our mentality is maneuvered by images and systems that we are part of; on the other hand, we constantly change the images and systems by how we view the world. In this way, reality becomes the mixture of our imagination of the world and how we experience the world.
