Description
"relations" as a preference over "relatives".
so, in a sense you could say the 3rd frame does not fit in with the 1st and second. go ahead and mentally exclude the 3rd frame if this bothers you - the real progression is ... marcella (marcy) and her androgenous, creepy relatives, to marcy with her (more) socially acceptable great-aunt, added to the genetic mixture. yes, that is an egg on the wall, and yes my mother put it there. it's her way of adding herself to the wall. so, as i make efforts to find myself within the dusty boxes of stories and photographs that is my family (never willing to talk, always willing to make excuses) here are some self portraits. my mother is an angry but suffering soul, so I am sure it goes back years into our genetics; her predisposed behaviours may one day show up in my own personality.
I suppose I really should submit these as the first two and then the 3rd as a separate....but hey, i am trying things. just like everyone else, im learning. and experimenting. who better to learn new things about but yourself? i may still have my babyfat arms and wear party dresses like a 5 year old but some things just don't change...or at least they impact our 'developed' selves.

It's a good triptych.
I was at first a little turned off by the third panel, but if you look at it in terms of dialog between the artist and the viewer it can be interpreted a lot of ways and it kind of leaves it open ended.
I'd leave it as is. Go with your first instinct.
Aside from that, don't be down on yourself. You don't have "babyfat" arms, you are a beautiful woman, and an excellent artist. I am consistently impressed with the thought and composition in your photographs.
