"Experience" is a mix of images, including photocopies of Titian's La Bella. I placed her face and upper chest over a photo of a modern-day fashion model, for contrast. The modern image is b&w, and her exposed, slender arm looks almost startling against the more rounded, richly-colored Titian woman. Even with a proportionately larger head, the modern model's arms look disproportionately thin against the Titian overlay. Because there are plants in the b&w photo, I added a strip of a color photo of grass, to further emphasize the richer nature of the Titian woman. I also accented the collage with text from a 19th-century literary magazine, not for what the text says (only parts of the words are legible), but for the age and authenticity that this suggests. I'm not sure what the small tag with the number 5 indicates. Usually, when I include an element such as this, I later realize what I was saying with it. Right now, I'm looking at 5 as ".5" and perhaps hints that the modern model is half the woman of the fuller-bodied Titian model? As a former fashion model myself, I'm not sure that's my message. So, for now, I'm not trying to read into the significance of the number. And, the word Experience suggests that with age and experience, life is far richer.
