My Self-Portrait portrays my eyes, lips and hair on a tree. I am a nature type of person. I picked a tree because tree’s are always growing, and developing new limbs and growing new leaves. Especially each year, they produce something new of themselves all the time. Tree’s adjust with their environments and stay put were they know they are happy. Tree’s enjoy their scenery and provide the best thing for this Earth, which is oxygen. I feel as though I provide the best thing for the Earth that I can provide, and that is productiveness, organization, growth, strength, protectiveness, nurturing, and being happy. Though a tree provides all these positive things that are acquainted with life, there are negatives too. Enduring harsh weather, fearing that they will be cut down, pollution, crowdedness, bullies, and diseases. Trees provide a long life full of many uses, also being as furniture, warmth, paper, plastic, many more. A Tree provides a life full of many uses, and purposes. Showing that they are multi-functional, as I feel as I have the ability to attain many purposes in life as well, while I grow and branch out my experiences for further my limbs to greater this Earth.
