Instead of using my own face for a self portrait, I chose to use images of objects and symbols that represent me. The images that are higher up and bright blue are all things that I love. From left to right; the headphones represent my love for music, the sketchbook is my love of drawing, the bird is a love for animals (I own a pet cockatiel, which is why I used that image specifically), and the gameboy represents my love of video games. The red speech bubble in the lower right is a symbol for speaking, particularly public speaking, which is something I personally loathe doing. The gray image in the background is a train, and that represents my strong desire to travel (and I've always wanted to travel by train).
The portrait as a whole doesn't really have a specific subject or point of interest, and that was intentional. It symbolizes my own desire to not be the center of attention, because I'm very passive and shy.
