Mmmm … tis often a ‘virtual mirror’ .... the mirror inside your head that reflects your movements, posture and words so that you are your parent … for a moment. Sometimes that’s nice … but other times it’s hauntingly scary …
Portraiture couture…the memories a streaming collage fixed mixed and remixed milieu over the subject a visual reverie never objectively….the homage. Magnificently done M….. (sweet and with love it has a vibe and that ambiguity of time gone by).
Oh, it is scary now, Nikolay… I “flipped” a self-portrait and one half became exactly like her. Of course we often share our parents’ appearance, but – I am happy with the work, and will leave the analysis!

...they say there is a day you look in the mirror
and see your parent; it is a haunting idea…

I very rarely have time to look in the mirror except for a shave, my next shave I will be thinking of this. Like it
mmargot replied
That’s good, Andy – just so it doesn’t make you feel old!

No I shave simply because it is cleaner, age is a blessing where wisdom carries our understanding to egosentrism(~:+
mmargot replied
Age must have a sentry, yes.
Enjoy!

Arrrrrrrrgh! Age has no sentry it simply is. Read Sheldrake natural causation’s

You are fun to tease… :-)

If you could transfer images of memories directly from your mind to film, I think this would be the result. Amazing work.
mmargot replied
Thank you for the perceptive comment, Helen…I guess I had something like that in mind! You are right on, as always! Much appreciated.

smells nostalgic
mmargot replied
Smells sneaky, Nikolay! The woman portrayed does not know where these photos are or if they exist. Nostalgic secret maybe?

The emotion is captured very well; and the way you montaged this is compelling.

Collage and montage are my Photoshop…maybe time to return to basics…thank you for the “guiding” comment!
