David Bowie: Identity as Art and Philosophy
David Bowie didn’t just make music. He made selves. Each era of his career arrived with a new face, a new voice, a new story about who he was allowed to be. Ziggy Stardust fell from the stars to preach doomed glamour. The Thin White Duke stalked across the stage with ice-cold elegance. Then there were the quieter, searching versions—Bowie as wanderer, as witness, as man growing older without pretending to stay young. This wasn’t costume for costume’s sake. It was a living philosophy: identity is not discovered; it’s created.
