IDENTITY

Since Raphael drew this in his teens, he is curious about the changes occurring within him.  The three renditions of his drawing represent what people often think about themselves throughout their lives: an internal image, a projection of what one wants to be, and the external/real image/photograph.  I represented the external image by printing a copy of his drawing on photograph paper as if that is what he externally looked like at that moment.
