In Split Portrait, I wanted to move away from the idea of a face as a static, recognizable thing. To me, a portrait is more like a frequency—a collection of layers, some clear and some completely obscured by the 'noise' of our surroundings.
I chose the monotype process because it allows for a certain level of unpredictability; the ink moves and settles in ways I can't always control, much like the way our identities shift depending on who is looking at us. The luminous yellow circle isn't just a background element; it’s a searchlight, an attempt to find the core of the person behind the textures of purple and shadow. By placing this work inside a neon pink frame, I’m creating an artificial environment for the subject to inhabit. The frame bleeds light onto the paper, forcing the colors to react and change. For me, this piece is about the beauty of being unfinished. It is a snapshot of a person caught between revealing themselves and disappearing back into the color
