Deeply concerned with the duality of beauty and self-expression, this image is another self-portrait in which I show another facet of my identity as an artist. The delicate, colorful flowers that run throughout the image symbolize the beauty that remains hidden, while the digital editing reveals the chosen lines and structures. In my art, I reflect on the invisible forces that influence our perception - both external and internal. The flowers that frame the face simultaneously conceal and reveal what we call "beauty," while the gentle touch of my hand in this moment of engagement with the image shows how we own our own perception.
