Selfie, Jacksonville, Florida, 2014

Part of the Wells Fargo Center, once the tallest building in Florida, is reflected here in the ground floor window of a neighboring structure. I saw my own figure reflected in this window as well, and made this geometrically composed “selfie” portrait of myself. The window’s curving surfaces distort and abstract my silhouette, as well as the lines of the reflected building. The vertical and horizontal lines that flow throughout the image combine hints of both cubism and surrealism with a color palette reminiscent of Edward Hopper’s paintings.

The palm leaves also lend a sense of place to this image, Rose. And yes, I was exploring a cubistic idea here from the beginning, and it turned into a Hopper about halfway through the process.

Cubism rules here. I recognize you even from the thumbnail and I like the palm leaves; they impart a touch of greenery amid all the cubes. V
