Old work 1











This body of work illustrates exploration of ego and self loving. Every once in a while, people imagine and wish to have a twin, or a clone of themselves as their best friend, or even a lover because theoretically myself would understand me the best. 
We constantly struggle and hope for others to understand us.  I think maybe the first step is to love and understand myself. How are we going to be loved by others when you do not know how to love yourself?

I finished this work during my introduction to photography class three semesters ago on a project called 'fabricated reality'. I created my own method to blend two separate photos together as one. The entire process was done manually in a darkroom environment.

I later found out that similar method has been done by Jerry Uelsmann.
