This is multiple personality disorder, in which there can be up to 15 different personalities! Each personality takes on a different tone, posture, and attitude which defines them. The position of each portrait was inspired by the repetition of congruent mirrors. By putting the camera on a timer I was able to capture five different view points of the face, but used only four in order to maintain balance. Each self portrait is painted with a primary color and its' compliment. I'm still undecided about the background, but I've been entertaining the idea of broken glass. The main principle of art used is unity/variety and the medium is acrylic paint with prisma marker shadows.

The next step will be capturing that mental insanity stirring in her cranium, which will be achieved through broken glass that will act as a structure with in the mirror.
