Me, Myself and I explores spirituality through the relationship we have with our own inner selves. The three figures represent different states of one identity, existing simultaneously yet looking in separate directions. Their obscured eyes shift attention away from the physical world and towards introspection, questioning where belief, purpose and a sense of self originate. Through their closeness and interconnection, the work considers the idea that spirituality can exist not only through religious faith, but through the ongoing search to understand and accept oneself. In addition, although the subjects have eyes, they aren't conventionally seeing. begging the question, if we stop looking outward, what do we see inwardly? There's an irony in that I've painstakingly rendered the physical body through my realistic drawing process, while the subject matter is concerned with something that can't physically be seen.
