GRIP/Too Free

2020 Self Portraits

A self portrait of me, looking into the distance, with metallic blobs enveloping me. A self portrait of me, looking downward the camera while holding out my hand. In the background is a 3D version of my 2020 logo.

This is one of the first self-portraits I did at the beginning of the pandemic. In some twisted way, I found myself relishing the confined spaces I am in. Even so, I couldn't deny the despair beginning to well up, thinking about how the pandemic was handled here.

And as everything came to a halt, I suddenly had too much free time. I suddenly found time to do things I was interested in, like making things.

GRIP is inspired by @ines.alpha's work.
