DICHOTOMY
Self portraits can be daunting, particularly the first.....it's like looking into ones soul!
Remembrance, contemplation, and the depiction of two opposing personal narratives are embodied in this work, and extreme cold & warm hues are placed in juxtaposition to highlight the dichotomy, and to showcase the complexities that make us who we are.
