Artist Statement:
With each of these pictures, comes a different story. Boots, my grandfathers cat spends most of his time outdoors, and would like nothing more than to go from the concrete of the garage floor to the soft fluffiness of the couch. The photos of my sisters Olivia and Natalie, shows how siblings can and do look so much alike. With their faces overlaid you can tell that they have the same nose and their lips are very similar. The self portrait was taken in order to show both how much is expected of women, and then what is to be seen. With half of my face covered in a face-mask it gives an idea of how much women spend trying to beautify themselves for the world, while the face covered in make-up is what women want the world to see. Finally the portrait of my father, shows how much he tries to provide for his family. The bags under his eyes give a view into the late nights of wondering how or what he needs to do to provide for his family.
