• Artist Statement

  The image portrays a self portrait layer beneath a skull and a pair of eyes. It intends for you to think about all the layers of your body. When a person thinks of them self they will often picture the face and not the interworking of the body that make it possible. Eyeballs popping out were implemented to balance out the macabre feel that skulls find themselves representing.

• Creative Statement

  It means being vulnerable in any way you can. It means showing who you really are by channeling yourself into something others can see and resonate with.
