Self Portrait: Avatar

In my “self portrait” I took a photo of 6 things that are very special to me.

1. My Bunny – When I was really young I got this stuffed animal for Easter and named it Bunny. It used to be white but I’ve had it for so long that it has now turned a greyish brown color. I brought to New York with me because it reminds me of home and my family.
2. The White Bracelet – This is a bracelet from Hermes that I had wanted forever, when I graduated high school my mom gave it to me. My mom and I both have this bracelet so it’s turned into a mother/daughter thing, she wears hers every day.
3. The rings – Both are gifts from my friends back home in California. The heart on is from my best friend Tatum, she has a matching one and we both wear them every day. The one that is just a single band is from my best friend/boyfriend of 3 years. It is very special to me and has my initials engraved on the inside of it, I never take it off.
4.  The Keys – I included the keys because these are the keys to my very first apartment. Moving to New York and owning my own apartment 3,000 miles away from my friends and family was a huge transition in my life so this is something super close to my heart.
5. and 6.  My Passports and Luggage tag – Travel is a HUGE part of my life it has been from a very young age. My parents raised me with the mindset that you can learn much more from this world than you can from a textbook, I still believe this to be very true. I have traveled all over the world and hope to continue to do so for the rest of my life. I think the things I have learned from traveling have influenced my personality, my lifestyle my art/design work as well.
