Self Portrait
This self-portrait explores the intersection of human anatomy and surrealism through the use of unconventional objects. The shell is held to the ear as if it were a telephone. The soft, detailed shading in crayon emphasizes the texture of the skin and the structure of the hand, focusing on the study of anatomy while juxtaposing the stillness of the figure with the symbolic communication device. The muted tones, particularly in the skin and hair, contrast with the stark black background, drawing attention to the contemplative mood of the piece.
