There are many things that I find represents me and so i did my best choosing those which represent me the best. Some objects there have a more innocent and superficial meaning whereas some profound, some might say. As for the arrangement i tried my best to make it aesthetically pleasing but at the same time in a way that had meaning, a task that wasn't necessarily all that hard but i had some trouble with. I’ll do my best to try and depict what was running through my mind when creating this piece.
At first glance you can see i’m wearing glasses and if you notice it’s the only object that isn’t reflected on both sides but instead on my face. I had the choice of doing that but decided it would be best to just make it as if if i’m actually wearing them since well they’re glasses and belong there, but also because it just didn’t feel right to have it reflected on both sides. Some variety is nice. If you look closely on my shirt i have a symbol on either side of my chest. It represents two things. One being anime because it has had a huge influence on my life. The curled up sloth is from an anime called the “seven deadly sins” and it represents the sin of sloth. I'm a lazy and easy going individual so i'm not going to deny it. People call me lazy all the time but i know i am; i also know that when i'm not being lazy i can really focus on what i'm doing and give it my best shot. For example, i love to bmx it's one of my passions and so i placed a G-sport hub on the lower corners. Thanks to bmx i feel that i’ve grown a lot as a person. It helped me get through some tough situations and not only that but it's helped me accomplish another goal of mine, losing weight. Something i’ve struggled with most of my life, but no more thanks to the sport , and in the process of it all i realized that if i really put my mind to something i can do anything. One of the most important epiphanies of my life. I love water. Without it i know for a fact i would not have been able to accomplish what i did. Before i started drinking as much water as i do now i never really felt the difference between being hydrated and dehydrated. When you’re nice and hydrated you feel great and refreshed whereas when you’re dehydrated you just feel sluggish and with not much energy. It's just an awesome feeling knowing you can drink this substance and feel better. On either side of me you’ll notice that i have two “aesthetically” pleasing statues and and old book behind it. The statute does not necessarily represent anything like deep but i can say it represents my friends in some way because of a song we listen to called “Macintosh Plus” and it’s basically just a really chill song we can all vibe too. The book on the other hand i feel represents my studies and education. Not only that but my curiosity of this world and in a way my thirst for knowledge. Its old because often times i wonder about our origins us humans and the world itself; something i would really like to have the pleasure of knowing someday. Sticking out of the statue's head is a speaker. Without music i honestly have no idea what i would do. It's just something i can't live without. You can listen to it in literally in state. No matter what emotion you’re feeling music for me will automatically brighten my mood. Its just had a huge influence on my life and gotten me out so many tough spots. I just simply love it. Pouring onto the ocean sky behind me is a bottle of sprite. Sprite is my favorite soda and i just thought it would look cool with purple liquid pouring out into the back. If you notice though youll see theres a joker i placed on the actual bottle. That's because i love to joke around and be goofy. I rather be goofy and fun than all serious and uptight. It keeps things interesting and for the most part people just like to be around you. Don't get it twisted though. I know when to be serious. But if you know me personally you know it's always laughs and giggles when you hangout with me. At the top of me you can see that i have a pair of vans. It's the only shoe i can wear all the time and not get tired of. I don't really understand why people spend so much money on other shoes when you have these in existence, but to each their own i suppose. Fashion wise i know i will always wear them because they have such a huge variety and it only keeps on growing and evolving that i feel they’ll never go out of style. Well atleast not for me. Lastly, at the top corners i have moon peeking out from behind the hand holding the sprite bottle. When the moon comes out at night it creates darkness, but it also creates moonlight that allows for it to not be completely pitch black. My entire life is shrouded in darkness because i don't know what the future holds for me and there’s still many more things i’ve yet to learn as an individual and a student. The moonlight is my guide. It helps me navigate through the foreseeable future and represents the things i have learned throughout my life thus far. As for my background sky i could have chosen a nice light blue beautiful sky with white big puffy marshmallow like clouds floating around but instead i chose this dark sea like mist with a hint of moonlight being shed onto it. That ties into what the moon represents for me. The fact that it looks like a dark clouded sea is perfect. It being behind me with the moonlight casted onto it only further helps me show what i mean when i say the moonlight is everything i have learned up to this point. That ends our journey through my allegorical portrait.
