Winged film cameras hover close to the Greta Garbo cutout.  They are objective observers, “recording angels” representing the unaffected truth.  Ever wanting to present a “good face,” this piece continues the dialogue that’s found throughout the Cinéma Vérité series.

We spend a lot of effort on the image we present to the world.  Sometimes we seek fortune and fame, a certain number of likes or maybe the responses of a hundred digital friends.  Maybe all we need is a little validation.  

This piece asks, “how am I being influenced?” By whom or what? Who do I let in that sacred space?  It’s about self-image and motivation.  Who am I influencing? Why?
 
My reoccurring number three appears as a grounding yellow blue icon.  The bone and the “haloed” skull are the memento mori.  It’s a reminder that life is much more real when viewed beyond the performance; much more real with all of its surprises, textures, layers and hues.
