Adam's Interests
This selfie is meant to show myself with my interests that surround me in my life on a daily basis. The first and second layer is a piano and music notes which represents my interests in playing the piano and other instruments. It also represents my interest in listening to music. The third layer is a selfie of myself to show that the portrait is about myself. The fourth layer is a soccer ball, which shows my interest in playing and watching soccer. The fifth layer is a pair of chopsticks which represents my love for food and more in general Asian cuisine as it relates to me and my heritage. The sixth layer shows a rowing oar which shows my new found interest and love for crew. I put the music layers in the background of the image behind me to show that music is in the background of my life and not one of my main interests. I also made the soccer ball more transparent than the oar to show that I am moving away from soccer in my life to a new sport in crew. This image really shows my interests in depth and how some are more important than others in my daily life.
Just Relax
This double exposure image above represents a mindset I want to get into in the near future. Recently, I've been very busy with sports and being behind in a lot of classes that I'm not very used to. I've been in an all out panic mode for the past few weeks with little time to get back up to speed. Personally for me, I would like to get to a more relaxing mindset and I think it would make me more efficient with getting work done. It would also relieve stress levels and improve my mental health at the current moment.
There is a great difference between the two photos above with how they look and also more the meaning behind them. The first selfie represents my interests in my life and what I enjoy to do. It more in general showed what I like to do and what makes me happy in a broad view of my life. The second photo I feel shows a more present meaning and shows what is happening in my life right now. It doesn't show what I'm interested in but instead what I'm dealing with.
