Fractured

What are we? A face? A thought? A memory? A belief? Or are we all of these things a sum of these small fractures that when pieced together forms a single individual with there own views and ideas. This piece is about trying to answer the ever asking question of who we are. Are we the parts or are we the whole. The subjects in the work are whole yet broken. Separated by the edges of their world and connected again by the onlooker. Connected by the collective group of people seeing it, is their whole form truly their own or what people want them to be.
