Representative Self Portrait

Published:
509 Views

Description

The assignment here was to use symbols to make a "self portrait." The symbols I use are Scorpio symbol, a wolf, chains, and my own silhouette. Viewed from above, you see that my silhouette is the base. From the front, it's only the scorpio symbol (representing my girlfriend and I, both scorpios, and without her Astrology really has no relevance to me).
From the right, the red painted side of the scorpio symbol lines up with the red wolf, to show the wolf being pulled back by chains.
This has a dual meaning. One hand, I just like wolves and i have chain tattoos on each wrist (from the game Bioshock). The other hand, it can be seen as a symbol for my desire to be closer to nature.
