Identity crisis ancestral 2 should inspire the viewer to reflect on their own personality. Question like:
Who am I?
Who do I want to be?
What is my family of origin?
might come up for the viewer.
Different faces pulling into different directions, conflicting aspects of the self, are the other faces part of me or of others, or the same?
Some faces are blending with the surroundings or other faces, expressions of emotions shift and change, are unclear . One side pf the painitg shows dark area which represents the stories of my ancestors that I do not know but have an influence on my life. The confusion of the unknown is visible in the faces and hindering me to understand Who I AM
Where do I come from? How do I fit into society or my family?
This painting can nicely be combined with Identity crisis 1
The direction of how to hang it is open,it works in all direction.
