These images are related to my Master's Thesis and are part of a bigger portfolio, 24 pieces created less then 6 months. 12 portraits and 12 geometric abstracts. The portraits are of children who are dealing with terminal illness in some manner. They either are diagnosed or someone within their immediate family is diagnosed as terminal. I captured a moment in time when they were faced with overcoming a fear, some handled it very well and smiled, some were more apprehensive. The geometric abstract pieces are really huge paper air planes unfolded and then painted with the child's favorite color. The child took a personality test and the results were compared to the personality of how the paper air plane flew. The portraits are acrylic on wood 16x24". The planes are 31x44", acrylic on wood.
