I am at an odd point in my life as I feel very detached from values and influences that shaped who I was when I was younger. This old self still has a grip on me as I grow into my new (adult) self, influencing my behaviors, insecurities, yet giving me a stable, foundational sense of self. As I am currently growing apart from my old self, I feel I have to constantly peel back the layers of who I am; life, experiences, relationship to attempt to make meaning of who I am. This portrait is visual of this ongoing process as I navigate my person.
