Self-Portraiture (Part 3)

When I was in the beginning stages of this project, my aunt on my Dad's side sent me a few portraits of my grandmother from all stages of her life, from a child, to a teenager, to a new mum, all the way up to the years before her death. I chose one of the studio portraits of her at age 17, and recreated it in the studio.
