In this piece, I created a painting showing a distorted image of myself as a means of reflecting my psychological state, specifically when I have anxiety, I am stressed and feel as if i have no control over my body and mind. I used spatula to create harsh strokes and produce a more abstract image, highlighting the overall confusion by which the painting is characterized.  I was influenced to create this piece, by Carl Beazley’s paintings of distorted faces with which he aims to delve into the minds of individuals.
