Envy and Narcissus

Digitally manipulated portraits where the artist has mirrored and expanded or narrowed her face resulting in the formation of two characters Envy (black) and Narcissus (white). Envy defines herself by what she lacks, looking out at what she desires but does not have; Narcissus focuses inward, reducing herself through self-refection.
