Artist Statement: For this project I was instructed to choose a national or worldly issue and bring it into my photography to create a statement. I did strictly double-exposures to contrast the 2 different sides of people. I related these images to stereotypes and the way people view us or what they expect from us rather than who we actually are. Featuring a few self-portraits and a few portraits of my best friend, Megan.
