Visions of Self is an annual show of work from female artists across the world. It’s hosted by the Women’s Voices, Women’s Vision group of Yosemite Sierra Artists. In our second year, we’re featuring over 100 artists from 14 countries, with work including the subjects of self-portraiture, environment, emotions, and state of being.
Reflection
For all my life I’ve struggled with the fluid and ambiguous nature of being a person of multiple races. I never seemed to be able to identify with a specific group of people which left me feeling like an outsider everywhere I went. With this piece I turn myself face to face with life sized portraits to confront the feelings of hurt, alienation and trials from my past and present them with a new sense of self and opportunity for growth.
