In this publication, Touzani explores the concept of identity through the lens of her own unique experience of being Dutch and Moroccan. Having lived outside of the traditional confines of identity, she questions its validity and invites the reader to do the same. Through the use of vivid imagery and collages, the book allows the reader to create their own journey, experimenting with different combinations of images and breaking free from a linear narrative.
The innovative approach of a book that can be read both ways, highlights the multiplicity of identity, emphasizing that it is not fixed but rather a fluid and ever-changing concept. A book for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of identity in today’s world.
