DescriptionIn “Self-portrait” I’m depicting myself in a grand fiesta dress sitting down on the floor with my dragon tattoo showing, vices exposed in front of a never-ending geometric pattern It’s me as Frida Kahlo. The fiesta dress fully decorated and showing the multiple layers of my personality, from soft to a hard, skeptic to a believer, innocent to experienced. - Anna Davis
