Abstract Self-Portrait: A Retrospective Collage... of Sorts

A retrospective collage as it relates to home and ideas of home and what home means to me. Collages are usually photographic in nature and while I used the visual realm to express it, what I was going after was a more subconscious collage: memories. Injected upon the unquestionable visual element are the others remembered elements which lay just as valid in some part of my mind. 




I tried to capture the memories that came to mind when I looked at this picture, a photograph I took of a walk path near my California home. It's interesting, but after I created this, I felt that it was more honest and felt more like home and more my own than the original photo.
