This piece was done in watercolors, which is my personal to go medium. I was inspired to make a self-portrait due to my admiration for Mexican artists Frida Kahlo, who is most recognized for her self-portraits. As a young adult balancing my life between college, work and family, the days don't come with enough hours. With this piece, I want to convey the feeling of numbness-- an in-between state in which one is not dead yet is not living. (Try to view the piece while covering the other half, and it might look like two individual paintings!)
