I chose this Mayotte Magnus portrait as inspiration for my own. In her photo, she is being shown in two different mirrors, with two different expressions on her face. Also, it appears that the mirrors are cracked. The cracks can be implications upon her mental state at the time of the picture. My photo was taken very spontaneously. I was walking in downtown Dusseldorf, Germany when I ran into this mirror near a parking garage. The mirror is not a regular mirror, because it distorts the image and makes it appear wavy. On top of this, the image itself isn't very high in quality. Both of those aspects of the photo push the idea that I still don't know who I am yet, and the image I have of myself is very wavy and grainy and unclear. Unintentionally there are lots of lines in my photo, but those don't actually contribute anything to or against the message that I am trying to send with my portrait.
