Introducing ‘𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐭: 𝐕𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠’. This self-portrait delves into a profound disconnect and yearning, explored through the absence of expression in the eyes (no irises and pupils). These vacant eyes become windows to a longing for identity and meaning, a feeling we can all relate to – the hollowness that whispers of a lost self, unseen or unheard. This piece is part of a series exploring vulnerability and the complexities of introspection.
