My Eyes on the World - 4

While this is not an actual self portrait (because it is my mother), 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 mother 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 bleach and sandpaper.

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