Identity was the main theme of Finn’s early work. When coming back to school he struggled with his own identity. He questioned everything of his own personality. The loss of identity is ‘something everyone struggles with at some point in time’ he says in his artist statement for (I)dentity. He told a story of a time in his life where he felt he had to hide his sexuality. The story was told through long exposures, consisting of two individuals wrapped in string lights, moving through the space as if it was a dance. The lights shined different colors to convey the emotions that were felt this during this particular time in his life. But he will never tell you it is him at first in the images, no he makes them appear anonymous as to help others relate and see themselves. (I)dentity and (E)motion had two effects on Finn. The first would start his research portion of his practice and the second started to reignite his passion for activism.
