I went to my gym early and brought some lights for home and took picture with my sideline cheer poms on the ground and me holding a basketball to represent the sports I played for.

Staring at a computer screen for hours has become apart of my daily life. I work at my desk on a computer all day, then finish up homework here at night. This picture represents my current connection to Community High School: on a screen.

At first, I was really disappointed about having to quarantine because I knew that meant that I’d be missing out on my long-awaited senior year. I had been craving sitting in the senior sections at football and basketball games, prom, the spork game, having in-person classes with mostly seniors and close friends, as well as much more. Though 2020 and 2021 didn’t get to see these events, I feel like quarantine has provided me with something just as valuable. I was given time. Time to think about all the things I had pushed to the back of my mind and tried my best not to think about. It’s forced me to understand myself better without constant outside influences and distractions. Although quarantine has taken away much of what I was looking forward to, I appreciate the time that I’ve had to reflect on myself and figure out what my plans are moving forward after high school.

I took two other portraits, both involving mirrors. I originally wanted to work with shadows, but I pivoted to reflection. In other pictures, I used outside, white light and our basement mirror to mess around with how the light bounces off the mirror. Within the realm of reflection, it was fun, especially with the forward facing camera, to create an effect similar that to a house of mirrors. The subtle difference in how a first-person perspective of the photographed subject is flipped from the subject itself. Also, I took some pictures that were both with the wide-view and extra zoomed in.This self-portrait project was, for me, an exploration of perception and reflection.

Every morning my bed frame watches me apply my makeup brush by brush, I wanted to capture that moment.

As the seasons change the leaves and my skin change. You can see the hue of my skin mimicking the color of the leaves.
