Ali Mobasser was interested in the resemblance between his own and his mothers’ own ID photos, and how these, matched with other characteristics such as a fingerprint, results in a representation of ones identity. This is relevant to my own project due to the sense of identity and nostalgia held within these photos – I would like to explore other peoples’ own relationships with their or someone close to them ID photos, particularly when they’re used as a sentimental object.
