Self-Portait

Summary Utilizing old, black-and-white photos of several generations of my family, I have re-framed the images, creating an evolving, multiple layered image that is ambiguous, ethereal and at times, gruesome. The translucent portraits gradually but noticeably disappear to reveal a non-static image of myself, which from the beginning of the video has remained 'buried' beneath the layers. These faded images reveal my identity: many of their innumerable histories and memories have already passed and been forgotten, but they remain inside of me until I exist. View more details
