Of ALL the dramatic tv media I have watched LOST was the most profound, meaningfull show having the most lasting impression on my perceptions and beliefs. The production of this show typifies the understandings of current social media influences and uncertancies. Like 'Alice in wonderland' there are deeper and deeper layers of meanings beneath the surface of the story.

My portrait is of actor Michael Emerson playing a character called Benjamin Linus who is manipultive with trickery and deciept. In this scene he is held captive and, when fed cerial, asks..."Got Milk". People in life are like the Alice in Wonderland story in that we all have deeper layers of 'story of us' wich are untold by the naked eye. However, we may be able to get an idea or a glimse into knowing these character information by how the face tends to hold itself with micro expressions that describe each of our experiences.

This is painting is from a series of pieces representing the themes of the tv show LOST, through its actor portraits of their characters in the show.
