ARTIST STATEMENT ABOUT YOUR SELF TRIPTYCH
From the 40 questions below, choose TWO questions from each category to answer.

How would you describe your photos' meaning? Your responses can be straight-forward answering of the questions, but...you can also compose/write your answers into paragraphs that, when read as a whole, include the spirit and response to each question you choose.
