A Self Portrait
Time Studio
Animation, Minutes , 3:23
Fall 2022
By 1:55 pm, the video had finished exporting. I knew that since I was already running late for class, I wouldn't have had time to preview it. I uploaded the file to the class google drive and rushed to the art building on my bike. While biking frantically to class, I thought about the subject of my video. I was more aware than I wanted of the idea that I was unconsciously presenting the overused stereotype of the student with ADHD rushing late to class. I am not delving into the theory that working on a video about ADHD unconsciously created a self-fulfilling prophecy. A Self Portrait relates to my experiences dealing with my early childhood diagnosis of ADHD and the spinal fusion I received when I was 12 for scoliosis. The animated self-portrait explores the relationship between the two disabilities as I come of age. The fashion I created my video was to resemble the chaos and interrupted thoughts often associated with the learning difference; Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder. The disorientating flow of the narrative came from a vulnerable state, as it focuses on aspects of myself that have taken time to reach acceptance.
