Self-growth

The subject of my image is Self-growing. The content of my image is learning how to outgrow any obstacles that come in your way. Because our life happens one day at a time, there is a tendency to view each day as a separate and independent event. While I am a big fan of living in the moment, it is equally important to understand how one moment relates to the next. Those with something to gain want you to believe that major success can happen almost instantly and with very little effort. To be a success in any area of life we need to learn to view today, not as a single disconnected event, but as a major contributor to our future.

My choices were influenced by the quote “There’s no such thing as overnight success” and the image of “The morality factor”. Once I found those two things, I had an idea of what I wanted to do. This image not only reflect success, it also shows growth and desire. Desire to be better in life and show people your potential. I started looking through magazines and found some really cool images that I thought were going to help me prove my point.

This image might be confusing to some viewers. It has many different meanings which makes it hard to identify. But for the most part the viewers might think the image is about growing into success and obtaining freedom.

My image was inspired by Hannah Höch, (Made for a Party) 1936. It caught my attention how she could put all these pieces together and have such deep meaning. To create this image, I had to think about what matters to me the most. I looked at many collages to give me an idea on how to develop my ideas. I used a butterfly which symbolizes freedom. I also used the image of the morality factor which I used to define liberty.

This image represents me because im still growing as a person and there are many obstacles that I must overcome. This image portrays two different sides of me: the side that people see and the side of me that I see. This image also shows the freedom that I desire.
