"Second Thought"
100 cm x 85 cm
Charcoal on paper

Second Thought shows a shift in my work from creating relatively straightforward portraits that convey messages through expression and gesture, to images that require more thought. The piece shows a man with his face lifted upwards, held by his hands, superimposed with a ghostly twin image of himself turned at another angle. The facial expression on his face is brooding, lost in contemplation. It is clear by title and image that the piece is about being split in decision or in thought while the sombre expression on the face and the pose seem to suggest issues of self image or body dysmorphia.
