self-visualization triptych

in my triptych, i aimed to show my growth into who i am today. reflecting on my past, i feel as though i used to get lost in this kind of "noise" - i would always be too wrapped up in other people or events to really pay attention to or stand up for myself. in the leftmost side of the triptych, i am almost completely covered by the noise, which i turned into a visual element. in the middle, i am emerging more from behind the noise, and finally at the end i am fully shown above the noise. to punctuate my point further, i chose to incorporate song lyrics from one of my favorite songs - "flowers never bend with the rainfall", by simon and garfunkel. the final third of the triptych holds my favorite lyrics of the song, which i made much larger than the other text: "so my fantasy becomes reality, and i must be what i must be and face tomorrow". those are the words that ring constantly in my head, and therefore i found it of high importance to incorporate them into my final piece.
