In this self-portrait, I captured my anxiety and insecurity of not knowing who I want to be without displaying my face. While I am only sixteen, it can be scary seeing how many of my peers seem to already be figuring out their lives, and I wanted to capture the fear of an unknown future in a photograph. I used an empty canvas to symbolize my undefined sense of self; a blank slate waiting to be filled. I struggled with trying to figure out how I wanted to tie in the blank canvas. Whether that be me turned away from the camera, looking at the canvas or what I ended up using, which had the canvas covering my face, but me pointed at the camera. In the end, I think the shot I was able to get emulates the concept I was originally aiming for.
