Okay, so you might be thinking, "How is this a portrait, let alone a SELF portrait? You're on the other side of the camera." I used this sweet gum ball to symbolize me, up on a dark and lonely stage, reciting my monologue that is my art and life. I can't see if anyone is even listening for the house lights aren't up. And yet I go on, out of this need to communicate. Even though I am introverted so it is a struggle every day. Even though I am existential, so I don't think anyone will ever be able to understand my life just the way I do. I want to share my thoughts. I feel like it is almost like a requirement in life.
