interpret of self project.

this project was about exploring our personal fears, dreams, and obsessions. i personally dove into the fears/obsessions side and attempted to answer the question: How does perfection and disappointment affect teenager's perception of themselves? i implemented these concepts into my images through the use of photoshop, personal images, and magazine clips. the ideas of perfection and disappointment are concepts most teenagers struggle with and i wanted to represent those emotions through these images from personal and seen experiences.

trapped.

this image is a representation of the stuck and confined emotions and feelings that one struggles with to be considered "perfect". unable to completely fulfill perfection, society tends hide behind our insecurities and doubts in the world or feels as if the concept of perfection is an imprisoning feeling. this image was created through photoshop with the use of personal images.

the reflection.

this image represents how society struggles to face the complexity of perfection. often, we are disappointed in ourselves because we cannot fully and completely become the definition of perfection; therefore, the mirror becomes our enemy at times. this image was created through photoshop with personal images and hand drew/scanned aspects.

beauty in nature.

this image represents how even though in society we desire perfection in ourselves, we often don't recognize the beauty surrounding us. nature can sometimes reflect our beauty even better than ourselves or others. this image was created through photoshop with the heavy use of scanned images and magazine pieces/pages combined together.
