Self-Portrait is a series of tufted, life-size torsos that explores the use of the human body as a starting point for self-expression. The artist's own form serves as the source of inspiration for this deeply personal and introspective work. These works derive their form from patterns crafted by the artist, originating from her own body.
Through this series of works, the artist invites the viewer to contemplate the physicality of the body and the role it plays in shaping our identity. The self-portraits offer a powerful visual commentary on the complexities of the human experience and the deep-seated emotions that shape our sense of self.
