bronze, wood, mirrors, 2005

Viewers see the interior portraits with their eyes in place in the faces. The portraits are in the inverse (hollowed out), but the brains flips the images back and forth between concave and convex. Mirrors reveal multiple images of diverse people. Without the added input of skin color, hair color and texture, it can be difficult to categorize. In this way, we can see ourselves as “the other.”
