Part of the NO FACE DOLL series, this painting has references to the horny goat from Hellenic mythology as well as numerous fairly tales, such as Cinderalla’s slippers. My personal symbol of lost youth, the fallen piglet is featured twice. Overall this is a contemporary interpretation of the Narcissus myth, where the digital camera substitutes for a pool of water.
