Directions - Self portraiture Ideas and coceptualisation

idea generation and conceptualization

My Idea:
since the beginning of this task I've been having trouble coming up with an idea. Emotionally i dont generally feel like I, or my life are worth talking about, this emotion has been negatively effecting my creativity in this project, however after having done my research I found an interesting concept that I have been exploring since and this concept is the driving force behind my self portrait project since.

My inspiration:
during my research I discovered a very interesting collection by the artist Bryan Lewis Saunders, his collection, as described in my research post, examined how different psychoactive substances effect a persons perception of themselves. during a bout of self reflection I came up with my concept.

My concept:
my concept is related to how a person can appear to others in different situations, for instance one does not necessarily act the same way at home as they do at work, different partitions of their personality are exemplified, different sides of their psyche are in action, at work a person can be subdued, diligent and focused, while at home they can be loud, exuberant and expressive.

My execution:
my plan is to split my self portrait into three or four sections, each one focusing on a different facet of my life and how I approach it, how i express myself, how I act and how I do what i do. I want to shy away from the basic "Hi, I'm Niki, and these are my Dreams, Hobbies, life etc."

a more detailed description of what I want to do with this project can be found in the next update, "THE PLAN"
