Description Did this in school. Self portrait. I think it's pretty self-explanatory...

The colors aren't off at all. It's also not shitty either.

I had a dream like that once, except it was Dad that did it- it was creepy.

Excellent work, by the way, it looks just like a photograph.

I think that your concept is intriguing. I wonder if you were trying to describe depersonalization or something. No matter what you were trying to do, the photo isn't at all crappy, or disproportionate. I think it's fascinating.

Thank you dear Yes, it has multiple meanings, really. One is depersonalization, feeling detached from oneself and your surroundings. Another is feeling like you're wearing a mask for the world, hiding and pretending everything's okay, while inside you really just feel dark and empty. And really, it can mean anything that you personally get out of it, it can mean something different for everyone, depending on their life experiences.
