Using selfie compositions and mirror painting techniques, this work explores themes of “relationships with others and the self” highlighted by online activity, and the “ambivalence” of simultaneously holding conflicting emotions.

Selfie compositions and mirrors function as metaphors for discovering the self through the words and actions of others.

Layers of texture covering the face represent anonymity—contradicting the inherently self-displaying act of taking selfies—expressing the uniquely human nature of simultaneously holding conflicting emotions.
