Story / Additional InfoThis self portrait is the artist's objective viewpoint of self, not meant to flatter but to express identity, with side curtains (a repeated element in her work) and an eye goddess figure at the bottom. The eye goddess speaks to her femininity and her artistic identity expressed in the Latin culture. The eye goddess acts as mother and daughter, partner in the creative cycle which begets the renewed form of self. Many of the shapes are inspired by Matisse.
