This self-portrait is one of the most personal pieces I’ve ever created. I painted myself with long hair—a reflection of who I was before losing it to cancer.
Layered with glitter, bold colour, and unapologetic texture, the piece carries both strength and vulnerability. I wanted it to feel expressive, a little edgy, and full of life—something that pushed against the heaviness of that time.
I created this while my hair was just beginning to grow back after chemo. It was a complicated season—grappling with identity, letting go of the version of myself I once knew, and slowly learning to embrace who I was becoming.
This piece holds that in-between space: grief, resilience, and a quiet kind of transformation.
