expanded self portrait
Through the focus of someone close to me, I explored the lines between still life and self portrait. Obviously as family, there are traits of myself that I see within my sister. I consider her somewhat an extension of myself, which is why she appears as the main subject. The objects around her are comfort pieces from my room, mixed with objects that allude to a dreamlike fantasy world. I hoped to create a space that represents the ties that we share between one another, while incorporating tidbits of my imaginative aura.
