Self portraits can be a very therapeutic way of taking a look from the outside in. After my Mom passed away in 2012, life didn’t feel worth living. I couldn’t even get out of bed. This self portrait allowed me to see ME as someone else in pain and reach out to her, to give her the kindness and care a friend would give.
