Nymph
Self Portrait
2013




While walking at the mini forest in the university campus in 2013, I found these dead plant (flowers?) and I thought it still looked pretty even if it was already dead. I took it home and decided to include it in one of my self portraits.



I honestly forgot the original concept of this photograph because, yep, I deleted my accounts and photos on other social media sites without taking down notes on the descriptions. So it's up for you to interpret it. I love the audiences to be engaged with my photographs though.

A little bit about how I took the photograph. lol.
I usually just put the camera on a tripod and put it on self timer for 10 seconds or so - with 9 shots. I usually put a teddy bear or a pillow in front just for me to manually focus the camera. And that photo... I put my phone on a self timer to capture myself putting my camera on a self timer to do a self portrait. :P
And oh! Those black thingy dripping? Those are watercolor.

Haha model-modelan. Thank you!

Very beautiful colors. I like your self-portraits :*

Thank you! I like your self portraits too, they are powerful!

You hair reminds me of instant noodles. XD

That's what everyone says!

Oh no! I'm beginning to think like everyone else. How pedestrian! Ugh. XD

the portrait of the self portrait is quite interesting..! the portrait is great too! you look really sad though. Maybe you were sad that the flowers were dead... :) Sometimes the beauty and innocence of a dead plant can bring a certain melancholy I think....

I did look sad. Most of my photographs in 2013-2014 were sad. Like my subconscious was showing itself. lol. That time I was also confused about myself - cos I still wasn't diagnosed with PTSD at that time, so I had no idea. And yeah, maybe those dead flowers reminded me of those sad moments. And thank you for appreciating my work!

Thats for sure, it is not about description. It is about form, content and energy that make vibrate a string in the viewers mind.
