I’ve never really been put in a position to really define myself, with the exception of the simple “get to know you” games, I haven’t ever really thought about how to do it. Presenting this self-portrait now seems really ridiculous with what I’ve created.

I wanted to communicate different aspects of my life so with these four photographs and hopefully I was able to do this successfully.

First image – Communicating my Aboriginal background

Second image – Showing my interest in capturing obscure scenarios

Third image – Abandoned building that my friends and I go to often

Fourth image – I just really like my dog

For my two audio clips, I thought it would be interesting to ask two of my friends to say their favourite story I’ve either told them/ or they have of me.

In these two videos, I wanted to include both my house and my neighbourhood, because where I live is obviously a big part of who I am. In the first video, it is just a short clip of my record player in my study, which I listen to quite often because it was passed down in my family. The second clip is of my street at night.
