My own reference photographs and imagination.
is a portrait of my son using my own reference photographs, imagination and live luna moths that we raised and studied. The use of the luna moth and rosemary are to symbolize transformation, renewal, regeneration, faith, love, remembrance, and clarity after overcoming the trials and tribulations of the pandemic. My goal was to use a vibrant, saturated and painterly style to create a magical mood.
