The concept for this project was to show a connection between my daughter and myself in a fantasy sort of scene, while implying a true connection in our present lives. I was inspired by the exhibit on Inherited Traits, particularly The Nightgown Pictures, as it showed connection between family members despite the passage of time though generations. While that work seems more direct in its portrayal of such connections, the piece I created is meant to be more elusive and open-ended. Varying interpretations of this image by viewers may suggest different connections between the two figures in the image.
