In this self-portrait, set against a green backdrop symbolizing growth, the artist explores the concept of personal evolution. The hair is divided into two parts: one side intricately braided, representing nurturing and growth, while the other side is being cut by scissors, symbolizing letting go and necessary endings. The artwork invites viewers to reflect on the tensions and balance between embracing change and releasing aspects of oneself during the transformative journey. This self-portrait is done by Zainab Parikh, Bachelor of Fine Arts (Painting) student of 2019-2023 batch semester VIII.
