Self Portrait

This is a blatant representation of my hobbies, as well as a subtle representation of who I am. There is a rigidity to my movements when I exercise, as well as to my mind and actions in other activities. The reason for the entire piece being black and white is to demonstrate this rigidity in its rawest form for the viewer. I inverted the color of the main image to make the white area, and changed the brightness and contrast of both pictures incorporated, to really portray my statement. I really enjoy weight lifting and number of other types of exercise. This is depicted by the white image with a girl to the left doing a bicep curl. Note that there is only half of myself showing, as this is a representation of only half of who I am. I also enjoy feminine activities which I represent in the bottom right of the image where I am shown in a black dress. Again, I presented half of myself to the right, because my other half is on the other side of the image.
