My main focus in this piece is a symbol of a value that I hold dear. Peacefulness is an ideal that I try to strive for in my daily demeanor, and has greatly influenced who I want to be in relation to everyone and everything around me. Other aspects of my identity are also subtly represented within this piece through abstracted overlays, including an image of a leaf as a representation of my love for nature photography, as well as a photograph of a scarf as a representation of my interest in fashion. I wanted to give the image a somewhat abstract feel, as I think that is a suitable way to illustrate the concept of identity: it cannot truly be described.
Also: I have not fallen off the face of the Earth.
