My first series of darkroom prints, "Ishtulpa" is a seven-image series examining persona and inner turmoil through the lens of a mirror. I arranged the series as a visual palindrome. Our subject, looking to her left, undergoes introspection on a serious personal issue. Halfway through her pondering, she sees her "other self" reflected back at her, and ultimately makes up her mind.
