 This project will be an exploration of my own identity, first based on DNA analysis and then combined with graphic personal facts. A work about a visual and metaphorical journey which will attend to cover both perspectives of identity and will articulate what researchers on a biological level can confirm and contrast with a factual background. Assuming the speculative part of mtDNA result (the DNA will be extracted from menstrual blood), a relentless analogy with personal artifacts will be presenting.

 Inspiring by the literature that I have been through (especially Discourse on the Origin of Inequality, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 1775) I decided to pursue my intersect feelings and I attended to analyze my DNA, with the secret hope of discovering my own ethnicity extent and finding any connection with Asian ethnicity.

+• Provide a vision of mankind nature that entails man as an infallible judge of good and evil.
+• Making human the center of the scheme of things that surrounds.
+• When natures are seen to be a product of our mind, all that is left of the original trials of self-presence just in truth.
+• We should trust our feelings since emotions are perceived as a prism, which alters the shape and colors of past and present life.
+• Our memory of objective facts is colored by present feelings and motivation.
+• Subjective truth is prior to and more fundamental (more authentic) than object objective truth.
+• Life is something we carry within us, and it is up to each of us to cultivate it and express it in our own personal ways.
+• Socrate’s concept of “know thyself”, human are regarded as parts of a wider cosmic totality.
+• Thus knowing yourself involved knowing above all what is your place in that complex pattern.
+• Our authenticity is defined by our nature as this fits into the overall practices and background of life of the world as a whole entity.
+• The influence of society in constructing our self-understanding is evident.
+• Grew up in great part in interaction with culture, it is incapable of directing our behavior or organizing our experience without the guidance provided (by culture’s) systems of significant symbols.
+• Without men, no culture, certainly; but equally, and more significantly, without culture, no men.
+• It is up to you to determine the overall shape your life will have.
+• Is to identify what really matters in the historical situation in which you find yourself and to take a resolute stand on pursuing those ends.
+• Must have an understanding of what is of crucial importance to you, and that means knowing where you stand within a context of questions about what is truly worth pursuing in life.
+• What shapes your identity, according to this picture, is determined by what you identify with: the life-defining ideals and projects that make you who you are.
+• It is less important what you believe and feel than how deep those feelings and beliefs are.
+• The crucial concern is being true to the inner self as it reveals itself and expressing it openly.

+==First attempt==
 My first idea of project would be then a sort of critic of this scientific supremacy. Current DNA analyses bring about an inaccurate truth and significant data are missing to determine one’s identity.

+==Installation==
+Although those five tubes provide my precise genetic code, they do not narrow down who I truly am. Culture, background, life-experiences, aspirations shape me as a person more accurately. A graphic representation of this identity duality.
