Dek Unu Magazine - Sandra Klein

Sandra Klein’s self-portraits show very little of her physical appearance beyond a nearly transparent silhouette, but she shows, in full color and character, the details of her inner life, her thoughts, dreams, and the whirl of activity in her ‘noisy brain.’ With deftest use of digital tools, she cuts her head in half, top to bottom, and shows both the biological details revealed by the operation and the symbolic contents of her memory and imagination. Her work considers gender, aging, creativity, heredity, and all the other personal and social impacts on her development as an individual and on the development of the “universal mind” as well.
