This is an older piece of mine, created during my time at an arts conservatory. I spent two years there throughout highschool. It is not too hard of a piece to grasp, its just a challenge of seeing it for what it is. And that was the whole point.
Seeing yourself as who you want to be, or who you want to become, is the same process as seeing a piece of art as what you are trying to create, or looking for the final piece in the puzzle.

This is an amazing piece. I love the multiple faces and what appears to be a metamorphosis from one being into another. This is fantastic. You have a true talent. I would also be interested in knowing what medium you used to create this.
 
Great job..! Very dark in my opinion.. but that doesn't mean is sad or depressive.
Very expressive.

You must be really proud of your work!

Thank you for sharing!
 
Wow. I really like this picture. I'm interested to know if this is paper-maiche? What was your inspiration for creating this piece? To me, I see that this is a commentary on the different masks that we are encouraged to wear throughout our lives. We have a different "face" for each new situation that we are put in. Our family sees us as one person, while our friend see another. Furthermore, there may be a face that nobody sees; one that is hidden from view.
 
Oh, my goodness. You have done such a fantastic job! I agree, it's pretty dark, and intriguing, but I totally admire your work. It's what makes it very unique.
 
Nice piece, a living statue. These are always tricky to do, mixing inanimate parts with living parts can be a challenge.
 
Really great work you've done here. These kinds of crafts and abilities in the art industry are not easy to find these days so you should really be proud of your work :). Well done and keep up the great work!
