This collection of faux selfies represents me and my life. This is not exactly an alter ego, but more so just the hidden aspects of what goes on in my brain. The collection begins with a photo of me standing on top of a city. This demonstrates that I love cities and the starts are a symbol of purity and consciousness. The next portrays me as an astronaut lost in space with a phone in my hand because that is how I feel when I am on my phone: disconnected from Earth. The next is a photo of my friend playing the guitar because this is the type of person I like to surround myself with. The next gif is a representation of my love for Tokyo and Japanese culture, which is a theme in my works. The butterfly on my hat represents change and my mother because she likes butterflies and she is always on my mind. The mouth represents me and how much I like to run it. The next is me as a baby with current news around me, realizing that the time period I was in at the time is where I want to be. The next line drawing is also my friend that represents who I am spending my time with and where. The next image is my least favorite because it was my first attempt at illustrator. The Buddha is supposed to represent my desire for zen and a drama free life. The next illustration is of my cat and me. She looks so scratchy like that because she has crazy fur and she has a static personality like that. The next image is Noname from one of my favorite childhood movies, Spirited Away. The next image is a geisha, representing my love for Japanese culture. My first still image is me with a map body because I love to travel and experience different cultures and I feel like I am a compilation of several cultures. The next image is of my brother and me as children with planets above us because I feel in a different universe with him because he is my best friend. The next still image is also Noname, but this time in Las Vegas, where I am from, with Chihiro behind him on a hotel. Chihiro represents me because I am staying away from the soul snatching Noname. The next image is me with audio devices around me and microphones because I feel like my voice is unheard or because I sit back and observe things around me and say nothing. The last image is some friends and I looking at a nuclear explosion that represents the fucked world we are in but we have smiles on us because we are supposed to be happy.
