My self-portrait is a photo of me sitting in a tree, looking
out, with pagan symbols written on my arms. I was sitting in a tree to continue
the theme of narcissism and power, me sitting on the tree looking out is made
to look like I am above others. It can be viewed in two ways; one, that I am
better / more powerful than everyone else or that I am a role model and people
look up / aspire to be me. The pagan symbols on my body are meant to symbolize
not only my joy for learning about Greek/Pagan mythology but also my enthusiasm
for learning. Pagan mythology is an interesting subject because you get to
learn about people from a certain time period and how they worshipped gods / a
higher being. You learn what they believed as truth and why they performed
certain rituals. In the dark room I began with my negative, with the negative I
put it in the glass container with the photo paper. I found the correct amount
of lighting that it needed by testing it out in increments of five seconds. Once
I found a proper amount of light, I exposed my paper to 15 seconds of light and
then put the paper into the multiple solutions Once I finished I let the photo
dry in the dry room and then waited for it to dry.
