I referenced a black and white photo
of Frida Kahlo for this work. I first blocked in the values and then
took liberties to add colors other than black and white where you see
them. Of all the quotes attributed to her, here is one of my favorites:
"I used to think I was the strangest
person in the world but then I thought, there are so many people in the
world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there you read this and know that yes, it's true I'm here, and I'm just as strange as you."
Here's to you and me and all the others who the world might classify as strange. :-)
