22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Self-portrait with a mirror

Self-portrait taken through a mirror goes from reflection to shadow. The fluidity of light and shadow in the image mirrors the fluid nature of identity, suggesting that the self is not static, but continuously shaped by internal and external forces.
