This is a self-portrait that embodies many traits about myself through its shape and imagery. Firstly, the shape of the artwork holds dual meanings. It can be interpreted as entwined limbs, suggesting the importance of relationships and love in my life. Individuals intertwine without boundaries, becoming a whole yet maintaining independence. Simultaneously, it can also be seen as a pipe, connecting me with the world. The green color imbues a spiritual atmosphere and is gender-neutral. Additionally, the piece encapsulates my inner struggles and duality, yet maintains harmony. The black dots symbolize different points in fate, highlighting my exploration of destiny.
