This image is called My Life. Each layer of this photo has a different part or aspect of my life that is important to me. The first layer is a sunset. Sunsets don't have a huge personal connection, but I enjoy watching the beauty of it. The second layer is a butterfly. For me this represents nature and everything that it is. The final and most important layer to me is my basketball hoop. Basketball has always been a huge part of my life and I wouldn't be me without it. Each layer means something different, but all are important to me.
Artist Statement: This photo combines darkness with light. At the bottom it is dark but it raises to light. The light is where the head is because everyone is bright. The darkness is the neck because it is a dense part of your body.
Compare and Contrast: The double exposure is more interesting. As you look at it, the photo pops more. The colors blend together nicely and it looks complete. This is a huge contrast to the other selfie. The other selfie just looks like a jumbled mess of a few pictures put together.
