Strangers to Ourselves

The beautifully detailed holographic portrait requires intense cooperation between subject and artist through the requisite studio process. The grainy surveillance image is the opposite, requiring the subject’s ignorance of the surreptitious recording. Strangers to Ourselves juxtaposes
these forms to create a portrait that questions the relationship between detail and truth, knowledge and revelation.
