This self-portrait serves as an attempt to accurately portray myself as an artist
in this current moment of time. I decided that the best way to go about this was to
expose myself both physically and metaphorically, and to depict myself with something
that is symbolic to me. Right now, the most symbolic element in my life is crows.
Crows are often associated with death and the transformation process from physical
to spiritual world. As a fairly new artist, taking the first steps on my artistic
journey meant the “death” of my old, comfortable life and transforming my life into
something greater and more meaningful.
