Ellen Korbonski
Before and After

The belief that we have the power to alter both our appearance and persona is as much a part of the American myth as Norma Jean transforming into Marilyn Monroe or Michael Jackson changing the color of his skin. To be human in this country, one must confront and perhaps wrestle with issues of the body and its image, be them race-, gender- or age-related. My work is a visual exploration of the space between "Before" and "After," the real and the ideal and the search for self.
