I made this portrait quite fast, using a photocopied mobile phone photo print out and the mirror. The older I get the more I grow into myself and the more empowered I feel with potential. I wished to convey honesty through this portrait but most importanly a sense of how things are right now. I was feeling anxious and without an anchor from Covid 19 related issues. I wanted to make a work that would allow me a release from that feeling and would catch a moment in time.
