The Patience of Becoming
‘The Patience of Becoming’ reflects my personal growth into a young woman through a hyper-realistic graphite self-portrait. This artwork represents my current self, shaped by the people I love and the experiences that have influenced my identity. The carefully rendered flowers symbolise unconditional love and the core values I now carry with me, showing how I have matured both personally and artistically. Through this work, I communicate how memory, influence, and growth have contributed to my individuality.
