Alex+Tan+Self-Portrait



I am a fairly disorganized person and so this piece is meant to represent that in several ways. I wanted to represent the feeling of the the jumbled thought process that occurs when that disorganization leads to stress. I tried to achieve this with the jumbled movie tickets which and smoke-like color patterns that occur throughout the piece. The patterns were extracted from a piece of cloth. The week abbreviations are there to show the way my week looks to me in my head, appearing from left to right. These stickers were extracted from a vitamin box and I applied different color to them to emphasize deadlines, which stick out whenever there are things that need to be done.
