Jeylian-Triptych Self Expression

This triptych is my exploration of self. An attempt to untangle the messy, complicated emotions that come with figuring out who I am. Each piece is a shot of moments that feel deeply personal, layered with textures, symbols, and handwritten thoughts. It’s not just about what’s visible in the photos, but what’s underneath, what I’m carrying that can’t always be seen.

The central images capture feelings of connection and isolation, both of which have shaped my growth. The lines and patterns I added are like a visual diary, expressing the looping, tangled nature of my thoughts and emotions. Sometimes it feels chaotic, but there’s also movement and progress within that chaos.

Creating this piece was both raw and cathartic. It helped me make sense of some things I didn’t even know I needed to express. This work reflects where I am now—a reminder that self-discovery is ongoing, imperfect, and deeply human.
