I Got Me

In my self-portrait, I embrace myself in a fetal position, seemingly confined within the limits of the small canvas. The black and white palette intensifies the emotional atmosphere, echoing the profound depth of grief. The claustrophobic ambience mirror those unbearable days, encapsulating the suffocating weight of my emotions. The way I carry myself in the painting, hugging myself, amplifies the sense of vulnerability. Yet, within this emotional portrayal, there’s a subtle nod to resilience— a reference to the empowering notion that “I got me”, a silent affirmation amidst the turmoil of emotions.
