self-portrait

I created a display of the northern lights along with a starry sky this represents my willpower and persistence never to give up. I added some colours and blurred them out to make the lights and I used lines, shapes, and dots to make the house and stars

self-portrait

photoshop

This self-portrait that I put together a hand, a girl, and a galaxy represents my eagerness to escape reality and to be in my own world the hand represents reality reaching out to the young girl while she refuses to listen while looking out into the galaxy. I used photoshop to remove the background of two of the photos the put them together by adjusting the size and placement I also used smudge to my the girl seem more illusory to make it seem like she can vanish into the universe and stay there away from troubles and the problems of life and the galaxy represents the world of books, anime, and art
