"I explored the theme of identity throughout my folio via artworks of myself, representations of me and my interests. I was inspired to do this by multiple things in my life – my therapist and everything I’ve learned from her, neurodivergent creators online who have helped me feel understood and seen, and my own interest in psychology and the concept of self. I chose to complete multiple finals, as I believe the concept of identity cannot be summarised within only one medium or work. During this folio I worked on my skills in digital art and editing, photography, painting, colour theory, sculpture, animation, and sketching. My tendency to jump between topics of interest was useful when developing multidisciplinary skills, as I needed to cover multiple different types of art creation over my 40 pages. I used the app Procreate for the majority of my digital art. I learned to use layers effectively in conjunction with blend modes to create harmonious colour palettes and textures."
