Original artwork description:

"Lost" is a black and white gouache painting on paper from my Reflections series. The series, both literally and figuratively, reflects on my state of mind and mental state during a very painful transitionary phase in my life.

In creating each piece, I spent a lot of time taking self-timed photos of myself interacting with mirrors. Sometimes these interactions were confrontational, angry, and even violent; other times they were quiet, contemplative, and filled with longing or sadness.

In this piece, the mirror is implicated by a dividing white line. This line creates a sense of space that becomes physcological and divides the figures into two different physical and emotional spaces.
