But also, everyday there are new opportunities and different choices.  Liseta is one of a short series exploring my self-image. She is a 'Selfie' - a snapshot, so to speak.

Betta is a 'Selfie' - made by me about me. She reminds me of my mortality. We cannot be fully human until we confront the reality that we are mortal.
