My sef portrait
Raster image, Photoshop
Semester/Year Spring 2022
I like skate boarding so I decided that the focal point of the piece would be an image of someone doing a kickflip. I chose this colourful background because it doesn’t ground the image, it makes it so that the hand and the skater are lost in space, which is how I feel when I am skateboarding. I don’t fee time pass.
This image is a man looking into a vast mountain range. he is standing in the middle of the range and all of the lines the mountain makes kid of point to him. This is showing that he is the main part of this image but there is a lot more going on other than him. I recently moved to New York and this is similar to how I feel being here. I am the main focus in my life but there are so many things happening other than what I am doing.
