| Different worlds inspired by Frida Khalo |
• What is the subject of your image?
The subject of my image is just about what I've been through, where I am and where I am going. It's like the different phases of my life.
• What is the content of your image?
Well the content is basically some of the things that symbolize how I was feeling at each phase of my life.
• Why did you make the choices that led to the composition?
Well at first I was just going to have a collage of quotes and images that symbolized different parts of me but I realized that my experiences are what have led me to where I am today and felt it would be best to display them because they are an important part of me. My pursuit for a better education in this country caused my journey to begin. Despite my rough and painful past, I have been able to decide on my own to become a better and strong willed person. This is my self portrait on who I really am
• What do you think this image conveys to the viewers?
I feel that this image conveys to viewers that a girl is stuck between two worlds, one that looks happier and the other is depressing. Her head is a fist to convey strength. The dress or gown symbolizes the maturity she has gained within herself as she moves towards greener pastures.
My self portrait basically gives a glimpse of who I am and who I was plus who I am going to be. My past is something that I wouldn't want to remember but it has become a part of me. My aunt that I lived with transformed me to a different person that was depressed, angry, sad, lonely and negative. I never saw any good in life and felt trapped in my situation with no one to help or console me apart from my mother who was thousands of miles away from me. When I moved out, I transitioned into a person that decided to surround herself with positive energy and become mature with a strong mind all on my own. I became strong because I was able to survive my past and keep going forward with the strength I had gained to overcome my darkness. I am now treading on a greener path that is going to blossom soon with prosperity, peace joy, and love. The sun symbolizes my great and bright future that awaits me. Frida Khalo inspired me through one of her pieces where she was in the middle of two worlds with one looking gloomier than the other.
