Recursive Selfie

a representation of a long journey.

In this piece that I dub: the Recursive Selfie, I take the images and inlay them in each other to represent my experiences and changes as a person. To further this message and create marketability, I’ve overlaid a few phrases about experience and growth. These phrases, like “I am greater than my experiences,” and “We are not defined by others,” frame my journey in a way that should provide inspiration that resonates with the growth of most people. The animated typography that moves with the images helps create a narrative of life lessons that change and develop as one gets older.
