Phoenix Rising is a mixed media abstract self portrait. The portrait was created in a motel room in San Rafael one night just outside of San Francisco. The backdrop is the San Francisco bridge peaking through a familiar lingering mist. There are five sillouettes - two representing one generation and three the next and refer to family legacy. The sillouettes and the pink motive is a nod to the famous if not controversial designer Karim Rashid who is known for his prolific and futuristic industrial designs and architecture. Karim's concept of designing the self is reflected here in the idea of possibilities for my future.
