#13 2nd Place In People: "Self-Portrait" By Ayla Hashemi

"I feel sometimes like a stranger to myself and other times I know who I am. I have a self-portrait using a "hole" to represent receptacle to change and expansion. I give space for change as our self-perceptions are always changing, much like a blank canvas waits for an artist's touch.Ayla Hashemi is a creative person. She envisaged herself as a painter since she was a little child and dedicated all of her leisure time mastering several styles. 2013 saw Ayla study art at Central Tehran Branch University. She enrolled in a Digital Photography degree at Tehran Institute of Technology in 2015 following graduation, where she developed her initial enthusiasm for photography. She then began her fresh road with love and fervor. Working on own projects, Ayla mostly concentrates on conceptual photography, portrait, and animal photography."
