Rite of Passage
Painting
My work, Rite of Passage, shows how the places we've been to are inextricably linked with our growth and identity. Exploring this, I have incorporated explicit symbolism of a 'passage' in each 'rite' or painting. The use of the double exposure medium visually integrates the portrait with the most memorable places at each stage of my life.
