This project turned out to be an ever-changing process. I started out with ideas of printing "conventional" high-end portraits onto mirrors, reflecting the readers personality/image. Then the ideas evolved into the process of metamorphosis of thoughts and values between two friends. I ended up using some of the printing ideas from the metamorphosis idea, but instead of showing the merge of two personalities I decided to focus on different "mood swings" or sub-personalities within one person.

The piece concists of 81 small prints, all made from the same b&w negative. The first image shows the final piece, the following 9 images show some details.
