The woman show in this piece is my (now ex-) girlfriend. The photo and
piece were done before we started seeing each other (actually I used the
fact that I was working on it to talk to her). I want to actually give the
impression that the title "Contemplation" represents the look on her face
and that she is contemplating something. It's actually the other way
around. I'm contemplating her. She is actually looking off to the left,
but by inversing colors, I've made it look like she is looking towards the
camera, and thus me. The bubbles or spheres of inverse color represent my
knowing that she is a dynamic person, but that I also needed to learn more
about her. I really like the fact that her face and her jacket are
complimentary. The inverse parts of her flesh look like they may be part
of her jacket and the inverse parts of her jacket look like flesh. This,
again, is a reflection of the difference of what I know about her by what
is visible and that I needed to get to know the hidden parts.
