How to construct a self-portrait without depicting yourself through an image?

A big part of me and my art is writing and no matter how much an image can tell, I do think words can oftentimes tell it better. I chose to depict myself through the words of someone close to me, as I believe that describing myself would start and end with how the genuine connections I’ve made perceive me.

This piece explores the boundaries of what is public and what is private with a surrealistic twist. The liminal space of an open road, a means to an end, no place to linger, meets the dim personal space of someone’s rest.

Bubblegum princess is an inverted self-portrait project - a polar opposite of myself in terms of visual descriptors.
