Mirror of Becoming

A graphite meditation on the fluidity of identity, this portrait splits its subject into two intertwined selves—one calm and assured, the other restless and shadowed—linked by the swirls of thought that escape their skulls. Like a soul caught between reflection and reality, each half mirrors the other’s longing, suggesting that who we are is both singular and multiple, ever-shifting in the interplay of memory, desire and self-creation.
