My goal with this series of shots is to represent some stages through which a non-human (picture an anime android such as Armitage or Hannah's character in BladeRunner) goes through in the process of determining its "self".
In this shot we see the entity moving from subservient to testing the waters of "self". The makeup and outfit changes are meant to reflect the internal changes. Replaced blue light on image left with an orange-gold filtered light to simulate more of a pre-dawn lighting
