I feel this piece is representational of my work and my experience so far in grad school. This piece was done as a final project for my Life Drawing course this semester. I began the project after a conversation that I had with a fellow artist about how our whole idea about identity is completely circumstantial and based on our environmental influences. I created a flow chart featuring the different environments that I have lived and worked in, and attempted to figure out who I would be today had I stayed in said environment. I came up with 5 distinct alternate reality identities for myself, all with specific traits. After a few over-the-top solutions, I opted for a more subtle approach. I think the idea behind the work is particularly poignant now, as I’ve submersed myself in yet another environment in which my sense of self with be affected by.
