Sibblings
It was at this point I added my self into the project as a 6-month-old baby. It has been documented in earlier projects, that I do not wish to show the faces of my siblings. With this image, I tried several techniques to hide my brother's faces from simply blurring them to using coloured squares; however, I find this method of warping the image more satisfying.

Carl Strom's book Montoristen uses the negative as a narrative to describe being lost. This slide is based on that concept. The partially concealed Red Room in the background is where my Father stayed after my mother's death. I made this image with this in mind and tried to reflect his loss at that time to happier days. I'm not sure if this image is successful and maybe too complicated?
