Be of Two Minds
Drypoint engraving, digital print, chine-collé, pen and ink (2021)

Be of Two Minds is a meditation on symmetry, connection, and internal duality. Two boys, mirrored yet distinct, press their heads together in an almost ritualistic posture—two halves forming a whole. Their stance suggests both balance and tension, evoking the push and pull of thought, decision, and self-reflection.

The layered composition, created through drypoint engraving, chine-collé, and digital print, blurs the boundaries between past and present, reality and memory. The faded background, rich with texture and subtle illustration, enhances the dreamlike quality, making the scene feel both distant and familiar.

This piece speaks to the contradictions we all carry—the coexistence of two minds within one body, two perspectives within one moment.
