The Self Portrait
Photoshop and Illustrator
As this was going to be a self-portrait and I’m an introvert, there’s no question about it. I’m shy, I like being alone and I’m good at it, and I avoid confrontation at all costs. Lately, I’ve been this way, and I’m fine with it. Being an introvert has its good and bad sides. Although, the most difficult part is to keep everything to myself and my emotions don’t come out each day but when they do it’s a flood of them. I mostly spend my time worrying about thousands of things that may not exist or some daydreaming helps me pass my day.
Occasionally, when I consider circumstances and things I would like to share with someone, I can picture myself being receptive, but when the chance to do so arises, I become closed off. I enjoy making new friends and assisting others in a variety of ways, but I detest having someone correct or assist me in any manner. I may not show it, but I am especially vulnerable to injury.
Therefore, I want to express all of my feelings through this portrait that I would find it difficult to express to anyone else. The poster's flowing drips represent the emotion, and the door is making every effort to close it and keep it inside but is unable to do so.
The colors portray the dreamy side of me.
