The dark triad is a personality disorder that consists of three main characteristics: narcissism, machiavellianism, and psychopathy. Throughout this triptych an investigation into this overall personality is taking place. Subtle aesthetic decisions come together to create an overall mood. People with this personality tend to come off as very charming, confidant, and friendly. It isn’t until further involvement with said person that what was charming becomes cunning, confidence turns into entitlement, and friendly becomes a means to end. The overall aesthetic of these prints comes off as just that, charming, friendly, and “pretty.” With further involvement they begin to become more macabre as the pretty fades away and the concepts sets in. The details in the aesthetics are chosen to further this reading. Each print consists of two layers of small gray and lavender forms. They are abstract and yet conceptually specific. These symbols represent some aspect of the personality trait’s individual histories. Other representations such as cut off limbs, style of dress, drawing style, color choices, overlapping colors, and overall composition all serve to push this expression forward. Throughout all of this, a structure is set in the shape of a badge type form. It serves as the final placeholder; a read into not only the status and romanticized nature that these individuals place on themselves, but also the status that culture has placed upon them.

With this family tree I chose to call attention to the issue of Incest that is still present in few communities today. Our society now frowns upon incest, but at times in the past it was the norm. We now think of incest in relation to hillbilly's or people in rural communities, but in actuality even royals used to practice this way of life. The branches in this tree all intertwine and go back to one another as the entanglement of their relationships become blurred. The photographs where staged to be representative of a southern rural culture's stereotype. A pattern of broken rings lies in the background, resembling a target, another referenced stereotype of the gun culture in the South.

This self portrait was made at a time when the way I saw myself was a-skewed. Dealing with episodes of rushing intense thoughts I was left feeling separated. As if my mind, body, and soul where all disconnected from each other. A vast space of emptiness was always felt after these thoughts rushed away and a feeling of displacement set in.
