Abstract: 
"Trying to break the established rules of expression, this thesis paper focuses on finding my own voice. It contextualizes my memories and thoughts from my beginning, and explains the conception behind the Walking under a Midnight Sun exhibition. Through shadow figures and manipulation of handmade shoes, the truth about the expression, doubt, isolation and loss that come with society and my identity are illustrated in the exhibition. In addition, I analyze my artistic choices and art theory from a contemporary point of view in this paper."
