This is a self-portrait made by digital collage. I made it by combining digital elements to create an image that not only resembled me but reflected who I am. I combined photographs of chile ristras, stucco, and blue skies to represent New Mexico. I also have myself submerged in a lake named Navajo Lake Marina, due to the fact that we share a name and I have many beautiful memories there. This piece represents the fluidity of who I am as a person and how I change and grow through the specific aspects of where I came from. But also how what makes up the person I am will always remain the same.
