SELF-PORTRAITS

My self-portraits portray my own personal phases of what my mental and emotional thoughts consist of. For my piece entitled In A Sentimental Mood, I went through a very sentimental, deep thought phase thinking about how everything is not what I think it to be and how I can get over moody situations. After I completed that piece, I felt as if everything became clearer to my head. Most of my self-portraits also consists of a similar concept and background of my spiritual journey. For my self portrait entitled Cupid, I was intensely emotion and in my feelings; situations were not adding up, my head going into different directions which eventually led to rage and anger. But the other side of my head is overpowering. It has the upper hand and never allows me to hold a grudge against difficult matters. My intuition enables me to become stronger in love and forgiveness. Fighting Demons is a continuation of Cupid and is also a portrait based off of my growth. It's a symbol for myself that shows that I am worthy of anything that I give out and receive which is reciprocity. The Breakout self portrait is a reflection of myself overcoming the great obstacles of 2019, as it was a true test and combination of conceptions throughout the year. I've got to come to face myself and reflect on the heartbreaks, grudges, and hardships which are over powered by the greatness that is in my life. It is a definite transition to the next chapter!
