Self Portrait In Temporal Decay Painting

My contribution to the canon of American Trompe L'oeil painting with a modern twist. For further insight, see also: William Harnett "Mr. Hulings' Rack Picture", 1888 “…There are four common metaphors used to describe whether our bodies are us or whether they are possessed by us. The body has been regarded as a machine, as a particular type of possession or thing (a perspective dominant in 20th century medicine). Another metaphor is body as a garden, where the body is thought to be an object—but a natural or organic object rather than a synthetic one (this metaphor has been easily extended to organ transplants as reflected in the terminology “harvesting and implanting organs”). The body as a self suggests that it is a central part of our identity and perception of ourselves. And the fourth metaphor, the body as a sacred vessel suggests that the body is a temple of God.” –Sharon Chirban
