Lifelines : Personality portraits by Soumya Sitaraman Soumya Sitaraman's ongoing series, Lifelines, documents the development of an individual’s identity in "personality portraits".
Identity and personality evolve as we ford through testing life situations that force each of us to
make choices in search of a sense of balance in this diverse world.
Some of us emerge as resilient survivors.

The whorls of a thumbprint are as singular as the private journeys people take
toward self-knowledge and definition.
Through storytelling, the series illustrates
how people in diverse circumstances have resolved issues to
achieve their sense of self .
To create these portraits, Sitaraman visually imprints her subject's fluid and alterable,
intangible sense sense of self over the individual's unchanging thumbprint.
This Lifeline of support aims to expand awareness in inclusion and diversity
by providing a bookmark about personality and personal choice resolution in this multicultural world.
The series includes mixed media installation and oil on canvas embellished
with surface embroidery following the contours of a thumb
print.
Each of the carefully chosen participants in the project are powerful
in their own right. They have made difficult personal
choices and come to a sense of balance with their place
in this diverse world. Many are fellow artists, and each
a representative of a different ethnic or personal choice
pool.
Life in all its forms is to be celebrated.
