Past and present, antiquity and modernity. This project pulls from photographic history to create new work that is remains connected and inspired by its past in the modern day. I challenge the idea of a single self, a single existence, and a single being though these images, while also questioning what traditional modernity and femininity is. I bring in traditional analog photography to add layers to the once male-run medium, as well as utilizing the same medium as a nod to photographic history, and a duality of self; what a person looks like on the outside does not mean that is what they are on the inside.
This work was made to not only reflect me— my dualities, my questions, and my perspectives—but also to cause introspection within its viewer.
