Open Project — Final

I decided to take my self-portrait into a slightly different direction. I had a rough idea for a title: "The Duality of Perception." Essentially, what I'm trying to describe in this image is my struggles with body dysmorphia. On the left is how others perceive me, which is being overshadowed by my own perception of myself (on the right).

The background is a painting of my own. It was for an abstract project in my painting class, which I struggled with a lot. The painting, therefore, is associated with a lot of negative feelings.
