The different tableaus represent the processes of change. Sometimes it is cyclical and appears to not move in any new direction but just goes around in circles. Other times it is repetitive but moves us into new territory.
Change takes many forms from gradual to sudden and violent. Trying to break through the layers can be an exercise in futility and exhaustion. These layers can be filters through which we interact with the world around us. The portraits represent the different personas we present to the world.
