My Eyes on the World - 1

While this is not an actual self portrait (because it is my sister), I consider this to be a symbolic self portrait.

Because for this project, the series was designed to focus on people's thirst for the material and lack of appreciation of relationships. So I had my sister pick something of value to her, or something considered a social "material" norm for the setting. I thus destroyed the "reality" of the image by altering it with tape and scissors before I printed the negative.

No amount of material wealth could ever replace my sister. Absolutely nothing. This is what I want the picture to represent, if it makes any sense.
