Statement

This work is comprised of three different collage-like compositions, created in Photoshop, representing Mind, Body, and Spirit. It was meant as a way to express things and ideas that we associate with ourselves in the form of relation to one another.

I think one of the points that I excelled at was creating a link between all three collages stylistically. It's easy to pick them out of a group of work and put them together, due to certain blending and layering techniques, along with overall composition choices. This is particularly important due to the nature of how they're all supposed to reflect different aspects of one person, and it really only helps emphasize how thin the line truly is between different aspects of the self.

While a lot of the intended meanings and metaphors are hidden and can be interpreted differently, it simply works as a representation of how complex individuals are and how motives, emotions, and actions can be interpreted differently by different people or not truly understood on a surface level from an outside perspective.
