My artwork was inspired by Del Kathryn Barton. Most of the symbolic elements portray the conflicting personas and ideals of my personality – the act I put on and the me I hide. The NGT tube inserted through the nose and hospital bands are a direct reference to my nine hospital admissions due to these conflicting ideals.
