A Troubled Self Reflection
"A Troubled Self-Reflection is a self-portrait, based on the theme ‘appearance versus reality’. Inspiration grew from experiences with my final year of schooling, reflecting on the development of self. Known as ‘the end of an era’, means leaving a routine and institution that has been familiar since childhood. This prompts consideration into past achievements, failures, experiences, and changes. 2021 lead me to realise that I’ve struggled with the concept of self-identity. Currently, there is an emphasis to ‘know yourself’; how you’d like to present and what you like or dislike. I’ve never felt like I belonged with one demographic, with even my earliest experiences being half German and half Chinese. This led me to feel disconnected from both."
