An alter-ego is a different version of yourself that you keep hidden away. It is a fictional idea but has its roots in reality. It is often used in horror films because the idea of having another personality/persona and not being aware or able to control it, is a scary idea.Foundations students explored this idea by creating their own alter-egos. Students used their skills in self-portraiture and color theory to render their portraits.One half of their portrait shows their actual self while the other shows their alter-ego. These alter-ego are either characters they identify with or brand new personas that they came up with on their own. Â Please enjoy some highlights from this project in the slide show below and check out more of these portraits on the 11th floor!
