A self-evaluation portrait, pondering a 50-year lifepath with all its ups and downs on this planet, from the age of seven.

I used a childhood studio photograph taken by my photographer mother when I was seven and processed this digitally, using my favourite childhood colours. The pastel colours and font I used for the lettering reminded me of Scrabble, a game I enjoyed playing much as a child.

This print includes the whitewash timber frame.
