WHAT ARE YOU?
When asked to answer the question “What are you?”, director Mary R. Zuppo came up with many answers. Puerto Rican. Italian. Jewish. Romatic. Catholic. Creative. Sagittarius. Loud. A long list quickly grew longer than any object, scene, or story could convey.
With so many facets at play, I decided that rather than show each individual piece, I would show the interscetion of this identity: me.
This concept would result in the creation of a self portrait focusing on light, color, costume, and subject in order to convey an a feeling of totality.

Final Image
Evocative, ephemeral, and expressive, the image below embodies the spirit of the subject. Obscured yet seen, in shades of red, this portrait gives a soft intensity, glowing and seductive, the hallmark of its subject.
