For my object aspect of my self portrait, I decided to do something that included a collage. This is something I do on a regular basis, cutting out pictures and words from magazines. However, I do not always find that the images in fashion magazines for example, are very real. I wanted to pick an image to put along with all of the fashion photos I chose, to make it have more of an "imperfect" look about it. I chose one of my favourite images that is several trees, with the leaves forming a face in the sky. I find this picture to be extremely beautiful, especially considering nature is all about imperfections in its beauty. So among all these movie stars and models, there is this one photo that makes it somewhat flawed.
For my audio portion, I decided to re-learn a song I used to play on the piano, "Comptine D'un Autre Ete". This song was always my favourite, but to make it include imperfections, I had to play with it a little on a sound mixing website. I created what sounded like mistakes, but they actually just add to the beauty of the song. I think imperfections is what makes someone or something beautiful and interesting, which is the reason I chose this theme for my self portrait.
