Black and White, Man and Woman, super! Awesome idea and execution. I like the thought put into this. two different hands! I had to look closely for that! I also love how you shadowed your second eye to leave one eye, hers, open and visible to symbolize the "oneness" of two people. Great execution. LOVELY

A golutpious gestalt picturing how a polarity of personality merges to a perfect whole. Effectively obscuring half of the perception so that the positive should perspicuously prevail!

Graet photo and great BN, very philoshopical

lucy_nka says:

There is a grim irony in the film noir humor here.. two becoming becoming one, on whatever level of a relationship and/or friendship, and thus losing characteristics that were preciously and inherently their own. There is wisdom to be extracted here, my dear. You make us come and look for it, but its presence is marked in much of your work.

Seriously, where is the faves-times-a-kajillion button when y'need it, huh? Bergman would be proud, Derrick! Ohhh yes, he'd be beaming with pride! I'm utterly wowed by this beauutiful melded portrait! This has such wonderful Persona-esque qualities! Brilliance and joy this is!

Such beautiful faces.. I dare say the universe is a mighty powerful thing... you're twins I say! Twins!!! :D

Aliceblue says:

this is taking that notion of "love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction" to new levels! evocative and interesting -- or is that redundant? in any case, it's true.

Wow, this is fabulous. It is both original and somehow evocative of something else, mythological perhaps.

j image says:

What a great puzzle of b/w logic. Something that is tricky on the eyes yet makes so much sense in concept. And that is what I see as the largest strength here ... the conceptual work that went into building this shot in the first place. Most impressive, Derrick. I like this one quite a bit...

This is both iconic and superbly avant garde. I've always enjoyed your excursions with regards to sight and perception and this appears to be the poster for the exploration!
