Original artwork description:
"Untitled" 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 itself disappears and the figure's expression/emotion becomes indicative of psychological space. The skewed disproportions of the eyes, mouth, and nose also speak to ones sense of self (or lack there-of) within this painful emotional experience.
