This self-portrait artwork intricately integrates my thumbprint, creating a dual portrait that explores themes of identity and mental health. Through a blend of Lino cut on handmade paper and silk-screen printing on bark cloth, the piece visually contrasts outward strength with inner turmoil. The thumbprint symbolizes individuality and hidden struggles, challenging viewers to look beyond surface appearances. Handmade paper's texture symbolizes the fragmented nature of mental health experiences, while bark cloth adds cultural grounding to the abstract concept. This artwork invites reflection on the complexities of mental well-being and underscores the uniqueness of each person's journey.
