“This specific set of images allowed me to play with light. Leaving some mystery through the shadows. As I looked back at the images, I saw a pureness through the light. Through the shadows, I was overcome with feelings of sex appeal, confidence and shyness all at once. Overall this set left me intrigued to see what other ways I can see myself through self portraiture.”
“Self expression is very important to me. Being free to express who I am, with no inhibitions is challenging at times but my artistry allows me to explore this. It has been great to see how other artists see me and understanding their perspectives. I’m now embarking on self portraiture, helping me understand, even better how to be more comfortable in conveying “self”. “
