An oversized portrait shows a male - his face obscured by a blot of brown paint - is a scaled reproduction of a found passport photograph. The mark applied by person unknown­ is conceptually ambiguous. Does this reflect a defacing made in anger or hatred? Soiled by a rejected friend or lover?

Do Not Become What You See series of work use appropriate found passport photographs to form abstract narratives on the issues of personal and national identities. The use of a personal self image creates an invasion of personal privacy and the often blank and expressionless faces become emotive by the acts of destruction or defacement caused by the emotions felt at the end of relationship and friendship.
