"Selfie at 25"
Two flat canvas boards, 12” x 12” each.
This painting revisits an image posted on Instagram over seven years ago, and embellishes it to make the effects of trauma and self-injurious behavior visible. The “cracks” showing in the background also represent neural pathways, gesturing at the ways in which traumatic events (and subsequent healing) can alter how we think and make connections for years after the fact.
