This charcoal portrait illustrates the overwhelming and perpetual process of self-discovery. It shows my face besieged by disembodied hands representing creative constraints which envelop the portrait symbolizing personal well-being. This deeply introspective exploration is an inevitable and natural journey everyone must undertake in order to uncover one’s core values and develop a greater sense of self-awareness.
