Built on variations of marks and collage material, this face emerged as if from a multitude of perspectives. I wanted the painting to feel raw, layered, and unfinished, reflecting the idea that a person's worldview is never completely fixed. It is continually constructed through memory, emotion, environment, relationships, and personal experience. The combination of collage and painting allows these different influences to exist simultaneously, creating a portrait that is less about physical appearance and more about what exists beneath the surface.
