Focus on the Positive , 2023
Acrylic paint

In my acrylic painting self portrait, I'm proudly wearing my hijab, while illustrating the things that keep my mental health positive. The crown on my head symbolizes how I treat both my mind and body, which leads to the Z’s on the top left corner. They represent how I often try to get a good night’s sleep, so I can live the next day to the fullest. I frequently try to focus on the positive, instead of allowing the negative to surround my thoughts and wellbeing; therefore the cloud covering my eyes demonstrates how the green positivity is surrounding the black negativity. Hobbies and interests are amazing ways to emphasize and promote positivity, drawing is something I enjoy and find comfort in, hence why I'm holding my cherished flamingo pen.
