Hannele Rantala’s works deal with departures, homelessness and change; a borderline state or situation. Through her own experience, she is familiar with the issues involved in being a foreigner. This photo series illustrates the idea that a person’s identity is defined by others outside him- or herself. It does not matter what a person is, or who he or she thinks they are, others define a person by their own needs. In dozens of photos from four continents, the same woman appears in almost identical black clothes, with the same blue scarf, either on her shoulders or head. The changing scenery, the woman’s position and the way the scarf wraps her define how we perceive her.
