Conceptual nominee

This photograph shows me as my own cloud manufactory. It consists of two self-portraits that were put together to demonstrate in one single image a certain state of mind: melancholic, sleepless, dreamlike. I call this inner weather - when i think too much, get dreamy and whimsical - "cloudy".
