Category Studio Project: Identity Reconfigured
This collage are all things about me, what I do, what I think, and what I look like. The way we look is definitely a big part of my identity, I included pictures of me and even some items which… Continue Reading →
For this self-portrait, I focused on how I see myself. This piece visually shows a reflection of my face repeated infinitely in a circular mirror. As the image gets smaller with each reflection, there is less detail, the face becomes… Continue Reading →
