I chose to do an updated statement using Magritte’s “Son of Man”. This surrealist self portrait can easily be interpreted as the visible / invisible nature of ourselves, our personality, or what we chose to show or not show the public. I find direct alignment in this narrative to our modern use of electronic devices to remain distant, or invisible, while remaining in contact, giving us a more calculated depiction of how we would like to be perceived, or our “self portrait” (and of course I used a "green apple").
I also wanted to tackle a more contemporary version of Degas' "The Interior", again using electronic devices, this time to demonstrate a tension or lack of communication in the relationship. I enjoyed creating these images, however I felt "Son of Man" was a stronger piece.
