Self-portrait

This is my self-portrait, which I believe to be pretty self-evident and explanatory. Of course, for those of you who don't really comprehend, I'll give a brief explanation.
Basically, the android-esque head represents my initial being, demonstrating how I usually see things as a machine (i.e. yes or no, black or white, on or off, o or 1, etc.). The light bulb is fairly straightforward, showing the beginning of an idea. That idea then progresses into several different paths.
The scribbling demonstrates how I have a jumble of different thoughts on what I would like to do. That is coupled with the "motion" lines going towards infinity, which shows how I sometimes would like to develop a very epic and interesting idea. More often then not, that task becomes entirely too daunting and difficult. Then, the symmetrical symbols to the far left show the very balanced and particular plan I have in mind, but that sometimes gets fragmented, which is shown through the broken down pieces of the door.
Sidebar: I liked the fact that I used a door because it is such a simple and basic paradigm for a project, yet even those somehow can crumble at the slightest of artistic change.
Anyway, that is my self-portrait. It describes me to a certain degree (i.e. some artistic aspects of my character), but I think no one collage or work can completely describe who a person really is. I suppose if it were that easy, we wouldn't spend a considerable amount of our lives trying to know and understand people.
