Paul Atkinson, Who Do You Think I Am? (Portrait 2020)

This series of portraits captures a particular essence of certain individuals in my life. Although this essence is a crucial part of who these people are, it is not what defines them, and is very far from the totality of who they are. Too often we are asked to label or categorise ourselves and equally as often we sum-up others by that same self-definition. We are all too complex for single-phrase descriptions.
