I am initially a blank piece of paper. It is ultimately up to me how I want to inscribe and fold this paper into something beautiful. "Shattered; Bloom" is my first self portrait. I feel that by overcoming the mental block to drawing myself and accepting all my flaws, I am able to present a piece of myself to the world. Only by taking these kinds of risks can one truly bloom. Thus, the act of destruction does not bring a full pause (which would be denoted by a period); instead, it hints that there is something more beautiful to follow.
