What Was Made of Me is a life-sized self-portrait, 3D printed from secondhand and randomly sourced filament. Because the materials were never chosen for consistency, the color and structure of the body were never fully mine to determine.

That loss of control is central to the work. Exam-oriented education, family authority, compliance repeated until it became reflex: these are not background. They are the material this self was made from, before it knew it was being made.

By the time reflection becomes possible, what stands there is not something hidden or waiting, but something already shaped.

The figure does not try to appear whole. Its holes are large. Its seams remain exposed. Introversion, restraint, the impulse not to cause trouble, and uncertainty about desire and direction are not treated as personality, but as residues left by long adaptation to external structures.

The work does not repair what was formed without consent. It simply looks at it clearly for what it is.
