I depict myself dressed in a graduation gown in my self-portrait using colored pencils. I stand at the intersection of my past and future. The plate I hold is decorated with symbols signifying important times in my life. This piece delves into themes of self-discovery and evolution. Colored pencils precisely and brightly reflect my journey with precision and warmth. The inspiration for this piece is from the masterpiece, "Salome with the Head of John the Baptist."
