Self Reflection explores the personal and unique nature of identity, focusing on how we project ourselves outward and how we then perceive others. A cluster of bold trees standing in the middle of a river, detached from the riverbank, symbolises how our internal self remains distinct from the external world. The reflections represent the quieter, less obvious aspects of who we are—subtle pieces that ripple outward, often not immediately visible or understood, yet shaped by the flowing water of time and life's changing experiences. This work finds beauty in one’s own individual reflection, offering a departure from societal aspirations. It implies a quiet acceptance and celebration of the self in its imperfect, evolving form, even as parts remain distorted or incomplete.
