Self-Concept
"During a psychology class, we studied Carl Rogers, a forerunner in humanistic psychology and helping individuals to achieve their ‘full potential’. Rogers proposed a theory of personality that combined three components of the self: true-self (who you truly are), self-image (how you see yourself) and the ideal self (what you wish you were really like). To achieve ‘self-actualisation’, these three components must be in a state of congruence. I was inspired to create a body of works with three similar components, each representing a different, yet cohesive, element of my identity. This developed into two dramatised self-portraits and a ‘floating’ female body, made of stiffened chiffon and surrounded by painted personal objects. The three elements are exaggerated in colour, size and combine realism with abstraction to amplify the self as a multi-faceted being."
