My intention with this project is to create a self-portraiture piece that displays my own recent personal experiences with the medical industry and the loss of self that comes with it. I plan to have two drastically contrasting images of myself; one in my old jacket and helmet that I wore when riding my motorcycle, and another in a hospital gown. I could use juxtaposition with colour palettes to help enhance this effect, maybe by using opposing monochromatic backgrounds.

I also plan to experiment further with techniques that I’ve learned this academic year and implement the concepts that I’ve explored in this unit so far into it, such as the diamond cameos and multiple exposures. Regardless, I want to use self-portraiture to reflect my own identity in the pieces I create, however, I also want to see if I can capture other people in the same way, as I obviously don’t know them as well as I know myself.
