Isabel Bieri: Identity Critique

For this project, I wanted to draw on the tension I feel from not feeling sure about my identity. I've changed a lot since I've started college, and especially in the past year. And just in general I've always kind of felt a state of confusion, even in terms of race because I'm Mexican-American.

This is nothing really like I want it to look like yet... the picture of me is going to be hand drawn and possibly filled in with color and paint, it's just not quite "presentable" yet so the picture is standing in for the drawing for now.


I want the drawing to have an unfinished, kind of messy look to evoke my feelings of not feeling "complete." I will use a drawn image of myself because in recent times one of the things I have figured out is that I really enjoy making art, and I want to use the process of improving and making a finished art piece as a metaphor for figuring myself out. 

Also, this specific text is tentative. I think it's pretty cheesy right now.
