Best Surroundings: A Junior Self-Portrait Diptych by Alexandra Gamble (2011)

I Am. I am productive and opinionated. I wonder why people give in to peer pressure. I hear paper tearing. I see wilting flowers. I want to be successful. I am productive and opinionated. I pretend that everything is okay. I feel warmth in my stomach. I touch the dead flower petals. I worry that I may never succeed. I cry if I don't know what to do. I am productive and opinionated. I understand that I am unique. I say don't give in. I dream of no peer pressure. I try to be myself. I hope that everything will be okay. I am productive and opinionated . In my diptych, I used two images to represent me only surrounding myself with what is best for me. The first image shows me ripping all the dark and negative things out of my life and only leaving behind bright and positive things behind. The other image shows a flower being surrounded by things that pull it down, which is why it is wilting and dyingIn my poem it says, ''I am productive.'' This is because by only surrounding myself by what is best for me, I am more productive than I ever was before.
