Self-Portrait/Profile by Juliana Ortegon
16" x 13"
2020 — Created in the stillness of the pandemic, "Self-Portrait / Profile" is both a reflection and an unraveling. Ink and thread trace the contours of a self suspended in time—bold lines reaching for definition, delicate stitches holding together what felt like it might come undone.
The piece carries the weight of solitude, each thread a tether, each stroke a pulse. In the quiet, with days folding into each other, creation became both a refuge and a reckoning. This work is a record of that moment—of searching, mending, and the fragile act of being seen.
