Number 5 in the self portrait series. Drawing myself as honestly as I can (From photographs a photograper friend and I collaborated on), this dual image suggests the aspect of the Id and the Ego.  

"Freud made the analogy of the id being a horse while the ego is the rider. The ego is 'like a man on horseback, who has to hold in check the superior strength of the horse."

 

(Freud, 1923, p.15)
