In my photo, I'm wearing dark makeup, and a hooded shirt. The simplicity of the background expresses how I hope that I'll be able to focus on the more important things in life rather than being in a chaotic mess of work all the time. I want to be able to help people, but I don't want to be famous for it. I'm okay with work, but I'd prefer to not have to be in magazines for it.
"I always laid vegetables out on a circle , each with its own section like a slice of pie," (Chevalier, 5) The makeup around my eyes represents the way I'd like to define visual art in my life. I want to pursue it further, hopefully as a career, perhaps in a hair, makeup, or sketching.
The hood represents a way of hiding, almost, as I don't like being very loud or flamboyant, and would like to stay that way. "I crept into the vast place, feeling like a mouse hiding in a rich man's house," (Chevalier, 65). I'd rather stay hidden, even if I want to make a difference in the world. I think that everyone does, in a way. Nobody wants to be forgotten. Another symbol is the fact that I'm expressionless. It conveys a sense of calm, the way I'd like to have my life. I don't want to be extremely well known, but rather to make a difference in a quiet way.
