Looking at some of my photographs, even the extraneous, throwaway snapshots, confirmed for me the necessity of creating a new alias. In high school, I was obsessed with a particularly astute Plath quote which likened her own volatile disposition to that of the nature of ocean waves. She saw herself as caught between the two violent tides of her own making, suffering through each opposing extremity. I can't recall the actual quote.
The only paper I ever enjoyed writing was one I wrote my freshman fall for my seminar class. There's one part where I talk about the Freudian theory behind the child's "Fort-Da" game; it is quite literally a game of push and pull involving a wooden ball which represents the mother as the present/absent symbol.
Everyone says that despite the variance in subject matter and medium across a single artist's work, it all is related somehow on a deeper subconscious level and should be viewed together, not separately. I don't think this necessarily is the case. When two siblings fight, it may be wise to send them off to different corners of a shared room. In my case, they are bisected, diverging aesthetic principles.
