This self-portrait places me at the center, dividing the top and bottom of the composition. The upper section shows an leopard which is my spirit animal. I aspire to be bold and go after what I want. The lower section shows reality: I struggle and fall, and I don’t always get what I desire. Together, the two halves represent a life cycle that keeps repeating as the future glazes over my present state.
