Triptych Project Idea

My idea is to divide myself into the three parts of the psychic apparatus according to Freud. These parts are the ego, super-ego, and the id. I will represent my ego as my normal self wearing what I wear on a normal basis since the ego is the part of our mind that allows us to interact with the world around us. For the super-ego I plan on showing myself in a dress shirt and a tie since this is the part of the mind that leads our ego to chose what we have been conditioned to believe. It is the part of the mind that disciplines the other parts. The id represents instincts and desires, this part of the mind goes back to animalistic desires such as eating and procreating. Freud also said this part of the mind is obsessed with life and death and is the part of our minds that tells us to do things we would never want to. For this part I plan on using a picture of myself that makes me look like a deviant.
