Distant: A Junior Self-Portrait Illustration by Camila Sol (2011)

My illustration represents how my personality is like the moon. The moon in its many phases relates to my personality; on one spectrum of the phase there is the full moon which represents part of the positive aspect of this illustration. I have been described as very intuitive and insightful. I always try to look at things from a wordily perspective and I am able to be very understanding and make sense of things around me. When I think about the full moon, I think of a very wise, and enlightening character. Someone who is able to grasp a lot of different ideas and environments. During the different phases of the moon, there's the new moon which I think of being very young and childish. I am like the new moon because I am young, I take pride in being young and I know how to be a kid, while at the same time I know how to be mature like the full moon. This is represented in the illustration as a big harvest moon in the sky, it has a lot of different colors and texture which portrays how the moon is aged and sagacious. The negative aspect of this illustration is the idea of the ''dark side of the moon''. To us, the moon is very one sided because we only see one side and at certain phases only a small portion of the moon is visible. This relates to my personality because I am very reserved and distant person. I don't like fully showing myself to others and I always keep to myself. In many ways, I am similar to the moon because I remain distant from others just like the moon is far away from everyone up in space.
