I decided to approach this project by using a different composition than is typical in self-portraits. This side profile provided the opportunity to explore more angular forms, which I achieved with quad and triangle functions. I thought the restriction of elements allowed for experimentation with abstraction, so I further highlighted that requirement by using a limited color palette and geometric forms that belong to the same family.
