Parallel Self 

"Parallel Self" is a contemporary portrait painting by Sarah Joncas, known for her hyperrealistic style. The painting depicts two overlapping images of a young woman, a subtle exploration of identity and self-perception. The woman’s face is partially obscured by a butterfly, a symbolic representation of transformation and change. The background in pale pink and light blue adds a sense of calm and introspection to the artwork. The use of realistic detail and a hint of surrealism evokes a sense of mystery and intrigue.
