Metamorphosis

The composition of this portrait was inspired by Pablo Picasso’s “Head of a Woman” in which I wanted to embody his cubist style by diving my face into sections and playing around with proportion. I used snippets of the same photograph in order to illustrate the concept of “metamorphosis” or “morphing” one’s self into different versions of themself. This piece highlights the idea of perception – how personal features may be viewed differently when looked at from a series of unique perspectives.
