Self Portrait

This self portrait depicts a thought-provoking visual representation of the overwhelming stress and pressures of school. The piece showcases me being dragged away from various hobbies towards the mountain of school work and grades. This piece is meaningful to me because the balance of school with other things is very important to me. I want to perform well in school as it is my first priority, but also maintain a healthy balance of hobbies, relationships, and other activities. I believe this balance is important for mental health and allows me to look forward to school instead of dreading it. School work is a balance that takes time to perfect. However there is nothing more rewarding for my mental health then succeeding in school and making time for the things I love to do.
