“Changeling” is a self-portrait that reflects the shifting way I see
myself, both as an artist and as a person. My perception of my own
work is constantly evolving, being shaped by new experiences and
the way others respond to what I create. This piece captures that
sense of ongoing change rather than presenting a fixed image of
identity. The vibrant magentas, greens and yellows draw from
a range of inspirations that inform my practice. These colours
echo cultural, creative, and personal influences that continue to
shape the way I think about art and the way I approach making it.
Each colour and layer represents fragments of these influences,
coming together to form a portrait that feels fluid rather than
resolved. While creating this work, I focused on expressing an
unstable self-image that shifts depending on time, context, and
perspective. As an artist, my understanding of who I am and
what my work means is never permanent. It changes as I grow
and encounter new ideas. “Changeling” embraces this process
of transformation. Instead of presenting a definitive portrait, it
reflects the ongoing negotiation between identity, creativity, and
self-perception that continues to shape my practice.
