Close-up portrait of a Black man's face, eyes open and intense, with multiple translucent overlapping reflections of his own face surrounding him — as if he is haunted by every version of himself. Dark, moody, cinematic. Rich deep blacks and warm amber tones. The feeling of being crowded by your own thoughts, memories, and inner voices. Bold, literary, intimate.
