Self-Portrait in F Major is a series of Frankensteinesque self-portraits created out of selfies taken over the past decade, rotated and overlapped to produce a layered effect that represents the constant struggle to conceptualize a stable and coherent self, despite external intactness. The portraits juxtapose the sense of fragmentation that arises from images of different resolution, lighting, and age with a contrasting sense of cohesion that occurs because the proportions and angles are all roughly accurate. Tenses and perspectives are unique in all three portraits, and italics, bolding, and capitalization further distinguish each portrait's text.
