Considered Selfies | 2020-21

The ‘Considered Selfies’ series began as a challenge to create a self-portrait everyday during the second 2020-21 UK lockdown. This functioned as an incentive to keep creating and to find some gratification amongst periods of otherwise empty isolation. I networked the series daily on Instagram because I wanted to connect with my community through colour and play, at a time of dark uncertainty. As it grew, it served as a reminder that we didn’t need external people or places to empower ourselves.

This project entailed twenty-nine self-portraits (or “selfies”) being made, nine of which you can see in this final selection.
