As an Indian-Australian, I stand at the intersection of two cultures, unsure of how to grapple with my mixed identities. Self Portrait #2 seeks to examine the unease I grapple with in having an identity that is not clear to society or myself. Each mark that obscures my face is a symbol of the sacrifice I have made in order to assimilate.
