For my project, I depicted my closet as my main visual metaphor to represent my personality. Each part of the closet represented something particular about my character. For example, overall, the half open and half closed closet illustrated my behavior towards people, in general. For instance, when I meet someone for the first time or even in general, I’m usually not as open about myself because I’m either not comfortable with them or I don’t trust them. Therefore, in my drawing, part of my closet is closed to portray how I don’t give myself out there as easily because I am not comfortable with that. Meeting new people is a struggle for me because I’m very shy and don’t talk much, so people always think of me as tedious. But, it is actually just how I am in the beginning. I take time to open up to new people. And that’s why I drew a half-opened drawer on the bottom because it shows some of the things that I usually don’t tell everybody unless I’m really comfortable with that person. Then, the opened part of the closet and the things inside of it symbolize things that I’m open to tell everybody no matter who they are because they are things that I’m proud of and appreciate.
