Selfie I and more art by Suriyya Choudhary

Selfie I is a distorted representation of my own self. It is a reflection/comment on the current responses to the culture of selfie.

I have completed my practice-based Ph.D. from the Department of Art, University of Reading. I am interested in the representation of my surroundings through photography and occasionally digitally altered images. My artwork explores the alternative ways of looking and representing things. Through photography and digital imaging, I explore the meaning of the situations, its connotations, and possible contexts. In the submitted image Selfie I, I am interested in representing my own self through pictures that are indistinguishable, and not pretty; it is the exact opposite to the current responses to selfies where individuals take extra care to present themselves remodeled and flawless; whereas, my representation reflects the doubt, imperfect, and hazy image; all that is me.
