These are some photographs I worked on for my final project of Sophomore spring semester. At that time I was a photo major in Fine Arts. This however, was my last project, and as you can see this is the point where I realized that what I reaaaaalllllly wanted to do was draw.
The concept has to do with my birthparents and my personal feelings on the issue of my adoption. In a nutshell, I found the only pictures I had, drew life size cutouts and made a series of self portraits to represent what my life would be like if my birthmother had not decided to put me up for adoption. They are C Prints from 35 mm negatives.
The series is entitled "The 'What If' of 1988."
