Human interaction takes place for most of us on a daily basis in one form or another. We are not all the same so clashes are inevitable. I was always told when someone upset me to see things from their eyes. As a result, the thought that there are two sides to a story has stuck with me.
While online, I was looking at monochrome photography. I stumbled upon this lady with her back to the camera. It almost felt like she was hiding. I tried placing myself in the room and created scenarios. At this point my lesson came to mind. No matter what I think is going on, she could have a different narrative.
The calling to paint that concept came to life so I set out to find her suitable counterpart. It was not easy, I looked for weeks for the image that inspired me to feel the polar opposite of the original. I had to find one that made me feel that I was strong and confident facing the world exposed and unashamed of who I am as opposed to a misconception someone could have that I am cowering away.
Two sides, in addition to wanting one to be proud of their sensuality and desires, is meant to combat judgement towards others by trying to see their perspective.
