I think I get it. The flower is superimposed over the 'real' face. An artificial self, made for public consumption that is pretense and hides the true self.
As for technique--I like the way the steam from the cup rises up and becomes part of the cloud. I'm not sure of the symbolism there, but it is visually effective.
That’s the beauty of creating, the number of interpretations people can give. Maybe it’s just a reminder that even our coffee dreams can take flight! Thanks for always supporting and commenting. Cheers!
