Trying to encapsulate a person’s identity through a small number of media outlets has proven to be difficult, especially when it’s your own. You may think that a certain photo you have taken or something you have written captures you quite well – but when shown to others, the meaning may become lost or may seem arbitrary.

My aim for this assignment is to produce a self-portrait that illustrates my identity quite clearly to me, but can be infused with people’s first impressions of me to create an identity that has several dimensions. This is not to create confusion, but to allow others to form a general idea of who I am rather than have them try and be too specific this early on in the year.
