A Sense of SelfFinding yourself and who you are is an essential task that everyone has to overcome at some point in your life. When you find yourself, you find confidence, and to me that is the first step to self love. This painting aims to demonstrate what it means to find who you are, and to appreciate every part of yourself. The good, the bad, and our deepest fears are all aspects that make us who we are. having a good sense of self means accepting every part of who you are. Even my greatest insecurities are apart of what make me me. This painting captures the process of peeling back layers to reveal the essence of who we are beneath the expectations, judgments, and doubts we carry. The composition consists of multiple self portraits portraying different expressions to symbolize how people are complicated, containing many different faces and feelings, as well as certain close ups on aspects of my face, to symbolize appreciation for every small part of myself. |
