How do your selfies produce or obscure a sense of your identity? What does your selfie reveal about your identity?

The selfie I chose is the one I took in spring break when I traveled with my friends in Oregon. I’m wearing very Asian style glasses, normal sweater from Zara and did a little bit make up with a big smile, standing in the balcony of the ocean-view house that we rent. The clothes that I’m wearing shows my identity as an international student from China. The background of the ocean view shows that I’m a very outdoorsy person. The filter I used for the photo can show that I do care about the social media and have a picky taste of the photo. I didn’t pose purposefuly. My friend captured the moment when I asking what she’s doing. It defenitly shows my personality which is pretty laid back and chill.
