This work is titled OG, as it was the first in a series of wooden portraits representing different personas of the human experience. These portraits each symbolized a part of the subconscious, or how an individual sees itself, that I believe in one way or another exist in everyone. The facial expressions in these figures allude to being lost in a moment of contradiction or deadlock, indicative of a personality affected and maybe even limited by its own self.
