//WEEK 01: SELF P0RTRAIT

about

For my Week 1 project, I created an interactive typography piece based on the word "SELF". The idea was to move beyond a traditional portrait and instead explore how I experience identity — not as something fixed, but as something in motion.

The design was inspired by the image of multiple mirrors. The visual distortion, triggered by the movement of the cursor, breaks the word apart into pieces — I was thinking about how my thoughts, feelings, and identity can feel all over the place sometimes.

That’s why the word "SELF" gets distorted and broken up when you move the cursor. The interaction is part of the message. As you move around, the word shifts and changes — just like how I’m still figuring myself out. It’s not clear or perfect, but that’s okay. This piece is about showing that process.
