This is the most personal piece of artwork in my portfolio. I wanted to focus less on what I actually look like, and more on what makes me who I am. I felt inspired to create a collage of things I love, places that inspire me, and images that represent different parts of my personality.  I combined these images with a loose pastel drawing of myself to show what is inside my head, not what is on the surface. By drawing myself abstractly, I felt the viewer would understand this is an inner self-portrait of how I view myself.
