Hermes Rising

This double exposure overlays my alter ego, Tommy Kobra, with a statue of Hermes: bringer of dreams, teller of tales, the messenger. Hermes is the one who carries words out of chaos, who moves between worlds, who transforms endings into beginnings. Out of destruction, I created a new persona, an indestructible artist who refuses to be broken. Hermes Rising represents taking your worst day and turning it into your best, like a trick. No matter how far I fell, I knew nothing would stop me from continuing my quest to become the artist I was meant to be.
