for my self-portrait, I messed around with digital manipulation on ProCreate. (This was actually pretty fun, I had my art major roommate show me the ropes) I feel like the pandemic specifically pushed me to do a lot of introspection and in turn, I had a lot of self-growth I’m pretty proud of. I like the symbolism of flowers growing out of my mind to kind of represent that a big part of my identity is still growing and I’m nurturing myself and my mental health like one would a garden.
