Self-Portrait

A photo of me with a book on my lap and a book right in front of my eyes which covers my beautiful face.

This photo captures me without showing my face, using books to express who I am. The way I’m holding The New York Times Explorer alongside a book on Freud reflects my curiosity about both travel and psychology. It suggests that I value exploring the world through ideas as much as through experiences. By hiding behind the books, the image keeps my identity private while still saying a lot about my interests and the kind of person I am.
