Self Reflection by ~Tonyr is a carefully planned concept executed in such a way as to create an image that grabs and holds you on its own purely visual merits - whether or not you also read the description and think about the personal statement being made by the artist.

Self Reflection

Description

This is a self portrait that was shot against a wall in my house. On this wall I have written a heap of words and sayings that I have found in self reflection over the past few years.

I have been striving passionately to become fully self empowered emotionally. To this end I am commited to being as self aware as possible to the emotions and energies that I carry. Much of what is written on this wall has originated from weaknesses that I have observed in myself. I have been less than secure for much of my life and believe that the more weakness within myself that I become aware to the more likely I am to understand these weaknesses that hold me back.

Have also and continue to be less than fully confident with my own physical appearance. I am however finding that the more I search and overcome emotional weakness the better I believe I am looking and feeling. Still have days where I do not like to look at myself in the mirror but these days are becoming less and less.

Just as an added note. Just wanted to say that the main message I am trying to convey with this piece is that I believe true strength for any person is accessed through self reflection. The more I understand about my inner self the more free, humble and strong I am finding myself to be.
