For this assignment, we were challenged to capture ourselves in a photo without actually showing our faces. This piece shows my bedroom, something I think reflects me well. How does this photo represent me? For starters, my bedsheets and walls already show off my introverted side of myself. The outer darker color of my blankets show that I may look darker, or meaner than I appear. However, when I get closer to someone I tend to show them more my goofier lighter side. The walls also show my childish side as well, which I also keep until I get closer to someone. My messy, disorganized bed shows that I don’t think ahead of time, I’m stuck thinking about the present. My bed isn’t made for when I go to bed later, when I get up I get straight to the work I need to do. My interests are also scattered out near my bed, showing my attachments I make and how I hold things close to me. Overall, my bedroom is a place for comfort and vulnerability for me, a safe space. I feel as if I’m reflected through my bedroom.
