These self-portraits depicts about the reality of my life which I dare not speak about openly in our society. These works are about my inner emotions and certain life incidents from my past. I feel highly desperate to do this kind of work because it helps me understand myself better and giving me that supreme strength to speak out my heart. My works is highly poignant, but it expresses about basic human nature and struggles which I have faced over the years. These self portraits are my personalized form of expression because when I work I transform into my subject and the material of my art. These feeling gives me a deeper understanding about myself during this process and time. Mainly I work on a series. These are a snapshots that explores various aspects of my emotions. Each one is approached and created with utter abandonment resulting in a work that communicates and exposes raw emotion to the viewer. This exploration helps me engage more deeply with my personal space and time. Having acknowledged my own issues and seeing the same reflected in others, has become a means for creating my inner narratives. I create these highly dramatic scenes, using props and  characters, with a strong focus on color and tones, to emphasize symbolism and depict various states of the ideal self. I wish to create an awareness for people around the world through my self-portraits.
