Self Portraits

Posted in by Paulette | Edit

These are my self portraits, now, I chose these two portraits because they are so similar yet different. The first one on the top is of myself, staring at the windows and in the background you see Miami's buildings. I chose this one because to me I feel that sometimes your so far away from something so close. Miami is known for being the party city and the city where fun happens yet I feel like I'm in the dark and just staring outside to watch others have their fun.

The picture below is of me again, on a balcony, I'm staring down at the street, it was a busy day buses were coming through and cars were leaving and coming, but on that street corner was a park, and I longed to be there. But instead I was trapped, in a prison of sorts, these bars from the balcony held me back and all I could do was long to be there.

To me both these photographs showed who I really am, a person that even in the light or the dark is still so far away from the rest of the world and just wants to be apart of it.


If I was to look through the eyes of the beholder, I would only see myself, looking back at me
