For my final self portrait, I used acrylic paint on a blank canvas to create what I call "Blossoming Into Self". This year, I have been on a journey to find myself and my purpose to the world. It has been a struggle, but I feel like I am finally getting somewhere. My painting is inspired by nickname "Iris" which holds several meanings.
The purple iris flower represents my outer self. It's primary significance is faith, hope, wisdom, and courage. "Iris" is also Greek for rainbow and the rainbow in my painting represents queerness. On the far right, I included my sun (Virgo), moon (Gemini), and rising sign (Capricorn).
