Excerpt from The Art of Self-Supervision
A self-portrait identifies the vulnerability and pain of being human, thereby compelling the artist to experience compassion and appreciate the “other’s” need for care. Allen (1995) describes the process with her self-portraiture which surfaced feelings of being tired. She observes that, although it was designed to depict different strands of her psyche, the self-portrait showed her, “tattered and torn, reflecting difficulties in her new job” (p. 183).
She observes that perceiving the other within enlarges the client’s view of self when they witness self, as depicted in the portrait. She adds that the image represents the paradox of what is and what might be. Allen (1995) likens the image to a mirror which reflects distortions and the incomplete ego-self. It serves to cultivate access to self; opening the way to self-awareness. The process of self-portraiture can promote insight or conscious knowing that is a prelude to change and transformation.
Nunez (2009) explores the use of self-portraiture as a tool for self-therapy, noting that photography adds another dimension. Nunez (2009) describes each self-portrait as a non-verbal dialogue which enables the artist to live through their different personae. She notes that while the camera focuses on the external, the non-verbal dialogue focuses on interiority or the ability to express true essence. She describes the self-portrait experience, as an autobiographical project that exposes underlying issues, feelings, and emotions, and provides an opportunity to understand meaning.
