“If the moon smiled, she would resemble you.
You leave the same impression
Of something beautiful, but annihilating.”― Sylvia Plath, Ariel: The Restored Edition
8×8 canvas with hand-applied gold leaf and embroidered threadwork. Inspired by the DSM-5 criteria for narcissistic personality disorder, the piece fuses photography and digital enhancement to explore themes of identity, fragility, and self-perception. Gold detailing draws from the Circle of Fifths, layering a tonal dimension that mirrors the emotional structure within the subject matter.
The central photograph was captured during the 2025 supermoon and king tides along Florida’s shoreline, rooting the work in a moment of intense natural contrast and introspection.
