Artwork Description

Growing up in the closet, I only ever let certain parts of myself show through. I felt like I was made up of 3 parts. The one I revealed, the one I let myself feel, and the one that was secret & unknown.

I would reflect only certain parts of myself back to others. I tried to merge seamlessly into my surroundings. Like a mirror, keeping everything hidden behind the surface.

As an adult I find myself adopting the same patterns. Segmenting myself and only revealing those parts that fit.

Alone and making images in the landscape, I feel free of it all. There is nothing there but me and it.
