I'm not creative. At all.
As ridiculous as this looks, there was a lot of thought put into the shot. I was assigned by my painting teacher to take a self-portrait using at least three things that you wear.
1. peace sign necklace- I bought this at the beach with my father, so in a way, it reminds me of the time I spend with him and the beach. I am also against violence... but that's sort of the obvious part of the necklace.
2. Beaded Necklace- This one represents my mother's side. It used to belong to my grandmother and was given to me after she passed away. She was born and raised in the Philippines where she raised her children... She never lived anywhere else to my knowledge. Basically, this represents her and my partially Filipino blood.
3. Scarf- I really like this scarf. The color and pattern always reminded me of trees and nature... I'm a Taurus, and supposedly, we all have a love for natural and have the urge to protect it... I do feel that way about myself. The obvious point about the scarf is that I like vintage clothing. *snore* Like I said, everything means more to me than the obvious.
4. Retainer- It is a colorful piece... It's sort of disgusting... Basically, it represents my awkward personality. It doesn't quite fit in with the other objects. It's not really pleasant to look at. Imperfections.
5. Fishbowl- My friend and I were talking about a tattoo she recently gave herself(Yes, she tattooed herself... her own hands guiding the gun.). Goldfish have the ability to grow larger when not kept in captivity... like a bowl. I'm not really explaining this clearly, but I'm sure a lot of you know the deal with goldfish. They grow when given the chance, but if confined, they stay small. The objects are sort of leaving the bowl, but still inside... It's just how I feel about myself. I feel like I have a lot of growing to do.
I feel like I'm forgetting something... but you get the gist.
