Description

This piece was created with acrylic inks with some standard acrylic paints for details, largely experimental due to my inexperience with the medium. I thought the unpredictable nature of acrylic inks were well suited for the concept I wanted to explore: a questioning about the stability of the ego or self and how much of our free will is lost to conditions outside of our control.
