This self-portrait project consists of three parts\u2014watercolor, photography, and stop-motion animation\u2014 that come together to express different sides of who I am. Each medium shows a different way of looking at myself, from personal, internal experiences to the outward way I present myself to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the watercolor series, I focus on my hands as a way to reflect my emotions. The marks on my palms are from clenching my fists tightly due to anxiety, and I use this as a way to show how my body physically carries the weight of my emotions. The hand is a very physical part of my body, yet it holds so much of what I feel inside, both from my own inner state and the outside influences around me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the photography series, I explore how I present myself to the world, using hangers and my everyday clothes. I photographed my black coats, which I wear often in social situations. Even though the clothes on the hangers change, the black color stays the same, reflecting how I seek a sense of security and calm in social settings. This series is about how I see myself from the outside, how I present myself to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The stop-motion animation combines both of these parts to bring them together. I want to show how both my inner world and the version of me that I show to others are connected. The animation captures how these different sides of me exist together and shift over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18463,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[152],"class_list":["post-18460","student-work","type-student-work","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-integrative-studio-seminar-1","tag-self-reflection"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
