i


By Jack Sullivan

My self portrait titled 'i' actually originated and was inspired by a poem. The poem demonstrated how something personal, for example a fingerprint, could be used to personalize something in a way that nothing else could - something that nobody else could copy. The idea was that my fingerprint is unique in that no one else in the world could have exactly the same picture as i. The fingerprint really made the image special and embodies everything i am. A fingerprint is yours; it cannot be copyrighted or plagiarized. It cannot be taken or copied; it is mine and only mine.
