Self Portrait Behind Chains

I took this photo with the intention of showing emotion and how many people can feel trapped behind a fence or mask of problems, even if you are able to see their real self. I also decided to use black and white to connect with the Rainier sweater, showing how things age and end over time. The location of the photo holds a lot of sentimental value to me as it is a place where I used to go on walks with my grandparents all the time. This was the first time I had been there at night so this image also represents new frontiers and the coming of age.

To me, creativity means the ability to express your thoughts and feelings in whatever way feels comfortable for you, and to make your ideas into reality.
