Cami Smith- Transformative Portrait

 





The concept behind this piece was to portray the desires of the subject. He studied music in college, graduating with a bachelor's in Music from William and Mary. While he loves music, he ended up working a desk job for the practicality that comes with that. While he does love his job, he has always wondered what it would be like to pursue a career in music. This composite sought to place him in an on-stage environment. In addition to that, the subject was clothed in business attire and given a briefcase to hint at his day job. Mostly, I sought to create a dream-like depiction of the subject on stage to embody his wish to be an artist. I paired that with desk-job items like paper to compare the two and hint at how both aspects might work together to create the subject’s personality and desires.
