Statement

I call this one Mirrors. It expresses my outlook on my current life and the alchemy that's a part of the process of growth and change when you put your mind to it. Through this painting, I show all sides of my experiences conceptually by referencing a long-exposure photo of my head turned to create an overlapping effect on my face. This concept is meant to show a racing mind, full of perspectives to look into. I wanted this to be something to relate to and inspire a bright outlook on life when we're pulled in so many directions. It's about balance and seeing all sides of an experience, looking in the mirror, and choosing the brighter side.
