Portraits are something that I typically steer away from, because they can be so raw and telling. This piece is no different. This piece represents the layers of marriage, and looking someone in the eye like you have for years and slowly learning your other half. Learning how each other evolves and doesn't. Appreciating all of the curves that have always been there, and the ones that are new. Realizing that if you take the time to really look at that person that has been in front of you for 13 years, they may have changed. Morphed into something even more beautiful, as the pieces have been cut away. Or maybe even looking at that person and realizing that you are unable to recognize them at all. The dichotomy of marriage, two parts and thousands of pieces that are completely different. However, they reflect one another's inner souls and come together as one.
