Self-Portrait For Digital Image Making.
Self-Portrait for Digital Image Making.
I'm going to explain to others that this is a personal piece. Some people are aware that I was physically and mentally abused as a child by my mother. As a result, I constantly see myself as a broken, damaged individual who doesn't deserve any happiness.
This portrait is suppose to show the result of how I see myself as a result of the years of abuse. I see myself as a ugly person that needs to be hidden. All I can see about my appearance is the physical marks I had and emotional scars I still have and continue to cope with.
I've never actually cut myself but I have attempted it multiple times to deal with my pain, which is why I drew them on my arms.
The second image is what I used as reference. It was shot by my Digital Painting professor.
