Self Portrait, a very difficult day

"Commonalities of Human Conditions" was the title of this 16 portraits I created for a solo exhibition in 2022.
... but something felt missing.
So, I decided to cut up each portrait. I thought the message I wanted to show wasn't coming through the way I wanted. Taking them apart was like a little experiment.
Then, I got a new idea.
I place all the pieces together on a big canvas. Sewing them together took some time, but I wanted everything to
fit just right.
The portraits were linked by red strings and buttons to show this connection across time – the past, present, and future.
And that's how I came up with the final name... "Threads of Humanity"
