PAST SELF PORTRAIT:
This collage includes a picture of myself on my first birthday. It is set around the idea of my culture and my playful childhood. PRESENT SELF PORTRAIT:
This collage revolves around the idea that I am not perfect. The broken glass in the collage represents my beautiful imperfections and how I am slowly trying to embrace them. FUTURE: My goals for the future are to accept myself for who I am and really embrace my identity. In my life, when I think of a strong, independent woman I think of my mom. It is why I added her image to my collage. Watching her succeed has made me want to work towards the future every day.
