In my drawing class i was required to make a life size self portrait. After using charcoal for the the first half of the semester then switching to color, I struggled with the pastels. It was hard for me not to try to blend the pastels which would cause them to muddy up. The image shows my life cycle of growing then decaying and blowing away in the wind. I wanted to try to capture time, how quickly life is lived and how chaotic and energetic the experience is. I am fascinated with the thought of not existing, then existing, then not existing, which is becoming the theme of a lot of my work.
