ANONYMOUS ARTIST 3 ARTWORK: ANONYMOUS MEDIUM: DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY A message from the artist: Anonymous is a photography series documenting eight young activists from Myanmar who are unable express what they believe, and unable to respond to the political situation freely under the current circumstances. I invited the activists to express what they are feeling while being photographed. Anonymous meditates on the restrictions of FoE and how this can threaten the daily lives of people in Myanmar; losing one’s freedom of expression is tantamount to losing one’s identity, the right to be “me”. “To have the right to express as a youth is important. If we have Freedom of Expression in Myanmar, the country and society could change so much. There is no platform provided for youths to freely express themselves in Myanmar and no one really listen to the voices and criticisms spoke out by youths. From elementary school to university, there was no space for youths to freely express and share their thoughts. Youth activists craves for Freedom of Expression. That is why the revolution is here. As the situation as it is now, youths who was born after 2000 have lost their dreams and meaning of life.” 50
