It seems that a very prominant focus in Surrealist art is for the artist to inwardly analyze themselves and depict their unconscious state, predominantly their physical self. Somehow this new depiction of themselves becomes far more than a self portrait, but a psychoanalytic response to the self and the relationship between the conscious and unconscious mind which I see in this work.
