Prompt 23

In what ways do you "construct" your identity? In what ways do you "perform" in your daily life?

I construct my identity by wearing make-up, the clothes that I chose, the accessories that I wear and even the way that I style my hair.

A war! I would make a war. I could get a lot of little toy soldiers and deform them by melting them and cutting of arms, legs or heads to convey the destruction of war.
