Untitled – Beezzz/Bonny Breddels

A very interesting representation of the Alter Ego through the use of the negative, where the lightest areas appear darkest and the darkest areas appear lightest. Surprisingly, this is not an ordinary negative, but a yet surprisingly pink one that instead of referring us to sad, distressed or despairing feelings it evokes an imperturbable almost fairytale like fantasy where Bonny Breddels seems to find peacefulness and satisfaction.

‘Cocoon’ – Eliza Badoiu

Eliza Badoiu presents a very intimate Alter Ego. An extremely delicate and romantic piece from conception to execution. The softness of its shapes and colors could reflect the ideals of a dreamer that constantly transforms, evolving patiently and immovable, through whatever may come. Sensations and feelings as most of her attributes seem to be difficult to notice through the veils that surround her, but the beauty is evident.

‘Things Are Rarely What They Seem’ – Lorenka Campos

Sometimes an Alter Ego is not a whole, but yet a character made out of pieces, like the one Lorenka Campos presents to us. The pieces might not fit perfectly, they might even belong to different perspectives and sizes, still they harmonize in an elegant whole. It is particularly interesting, the inclusion of a bee as a main graphic element, for some of the symbolisms it represents are tears, soul and resurrection, which add even more power to this image.

‘Her Heart Holds Stories That Words Could Never Tell’ – TheiPhoneArtGirl/Meri Walker

In between captivating layers of luscious red and gold, Mari Walker presents us one very passionate Alter Ego. As the title suggests, the look in her face reflects a contemplative, serene and expressive look, conveying in silence, maybe, the things left unsaid. One Meri seems to be emerging from another in a releasing manner as if she wanted to share with us her contentment of embracing all the experiences who make her who she is.

‘In Self’ – Roger Guetta

This is an unforgettable image by Roger Guetta, where he reveals his Alter Ego to us with quite an intriguing, yet unidentifiable expression on his face and a deliciously and stimulating atmosphere of positive emotions, energy and lots of imagination. The main character seems to be in a deep transition of several levels at the same time. Roger has developed an exclusive world that seems to exist in between the realms of the analytical and the spiritual, from where he emerges satisfactorily, metamorphoses.
