This is the first image in my new series, Begin Again. Exploring identity, I asked myself who I am and why I am. In asking those questions, I explored identity very deeply: what are our influences, how do we internalize those influence, and what expectations does society have for us?

I created this new body of work earlier this year, and it is on display in NYC at the JoAnne Artman Gallery through August 2019.

This image, "Contain", gives a visual exploration of the boxes we feel placed in, or the boxes we put ourselves in. What labels define you? In what ways do you feel trapped?

I can't wait to share the rest of it here with my Flickr family!

"BEGIN AGAIN"
A meditation on identity. When we take away our veil, our mask, the thing we hide behind - who are we? How do we find that person under the layers of identity others put on us?

This series asks these questions, and I hope you find an answer creeping up in you as you view them. I hope you enjoy the journey of looking at all these images - 11 in total. They are hanging in the JoAnne Artman Gallery in NYC through mid-August.

Let me know which one resonates with you most!
