In my first attempts at Photoshop, I created my Extended Body project. I decided to go with making myself part butterfly and trying to use elements of insects to create my own extended body self. I have always wanted to have the ability to fly and see beyond what we see with our two eye. Originally, I had a third eye to represent the ability to see the spiritual world but I changed myself to have more than one eye. In a spiritual sense, I have always felt that changing is reflective in butterflies. A lot of my work actually integrates butterflies and some form or theme of change for the better. So it's interesting while I was piecing this project together that I chose this as a form of inspiration for this project without any real structured planning but what I felt reflected what I want if I was given the ability to change or extend my body and self somehow. I did feel my limited photoshop knowledge was a challenge in this project but I think I did well in terms of what I did know and accomplish. I think if I was able to, I would make my lower body as well somehow maybe with extensions beyond the limitations of the body.
