“Me” explores the shifting space between identity and perception. The portrait is divided by two opposing light temperatures - cool blues and warm oranges - suggesting the layered ways we understand ourselves versus how we are seen by others. The glasses sit almost like a frame within the painting, emphasizing reflection and self-observation.
Loose brushwork and expressive color choices create a sense of psychological movement rather than fixed likeness. The figure feels both present and fragmented, capturing the quiet tension between internal self-image and the external gaze.
