In this self-portraiture project, I immersed myself in Carl Jung’s theory of individuation, exploring the depths of the Self through art. Utilising Jungian art therapy techniques spontaneous drawing, active imagination, and dream analysis, I unearthed sincere and direct visions from both my conscious and unconscious mind. Painting them simultaneously added a unique dimension to the process, fostering a dialogue between my innermost thoughts and the canvases themselves, enriching the exploration of the Self.
