1. A Mother To Me (2022)
oil paint on canvas
This is a series of images that are a part of my exploration into symbolism within storytelling. This later became a collaborative exploration into symbolism through artificial intelligence generation using GANs to produce images relating to specific terms related to archetypes. I reviewed these images and used symbolism I could pull from them to create further illustrations which I warped. This series explored the symbolism of the "Mother" archetype.
