This Mind's Moment: Self Portrait
Polymer clay before manipulation

Polymer clay before manipulation

A combination of polymer clay, Oyster mushrooms and my latest birthday selfie. Creating self portraits has never been interesting to me, until I realized that I might be afraid of looking myself in the eye sometimes, so off I went to the mirror.

Entered this into Jerry's Artarama self portrait contest, because...why? I dunno, there was one day left to submit, so I put myself to the test: create an expression of the most authentic You in this moment. The background is pretty much what my mind looks like all the time. It's bright, it's malleable and there are a lot of unknowns.

Created using clay, original photography, a few Picsart features, and Photoshop.
