‘SELF’
An exploration of self…
This project all began with the concept of ‘image association’. When someone asks me to picture something, I often times see a very graphic or cartoon image of that object. Upon the realization and further self-reflection that this is different for everyone - I began to explore a coping mechanism I have. In times of frustration or overwhelming thoughts, I find that I can best explain those feelings to another through the use of a visualization I see of a girl. This then led to my Senior Capstone, labeled ‘Self’ which allowed me to immerse myself fully into this mechanism which allows me to communicate better with others and to feel better for my own self.
THE PROCESS...
Many of these GIFs and Illustrations began from a quick jot down of a image I saw in my head at a time of self-reflection. From there, it became a sketch, a picture, and eventually an illustration.
