IDENTITY: DUALITY OF THE SELF
This series explores the complex nature of the dualities we all struggle with in life. This project involved superimposing multiple images of the same person in a 4-step process - combining photography, paper weaving, and painting.
The first image was taken in a public space, looking into the camera, expressing self confidence. The second image was taken in a private studio, looking down, arms crossed to cover the body. Combined, these images represent a kind of duality we all have between our outward public image and the one we hold privately in our minds.
1. The first image was printed, hand textured with a glue-sealant, and then cut into strips.
2. The strips were then woven together randomly to create this mosaic. This mosaic was then photographed.
3. A second image was then selected and superimposed over the mosaic image.
4. The resulting image was then printed, textured, painted, and mounted in a custom frame.
