In this artwork, I explore the concept of hybridity as it pertains to my identity. People often act stronger than they are, myself included, cold, unshakable- like stone. But we’re all just people trying to figure out this thing called life. The worn and crumbling aspects of the bust reflect the challenges and uncertainties I’ve faced, and the front I’ve had to put up to cope. The vibrant life bursting forth represents resilience, renewal and growth. For this image I used Adobe Photoshop, some AI generated images, free stock images and some photo-bashing techniques.
