Am I? explores the quiet but relentless act of self-questioning that so many women carry. Even in moments of confidence, doubt can linger—asking not only who am I? but why am I here, and who am I allowed to become? This work exists in that suspended moment of reflection, where identity is not fixed but continually examined.
 
Referencing the philosophical idea “I think, therefore I am,” this piece expands the question beyond existence into worth, morality, and self-definition. Am I good enough? Am I right? Am I too much—or not enough? These questions, though deeply personal, are nearly universal. They mark pivotal moments of becoming, shaping how we understand ourselves and the paths we choose forward.
 
Am I? invites viewers to sit with uncertainty, recognizing self-questioning not as weakness, but as an essential part of agency, growth, and self-authorship.
