Self Interest
9X12 Canvas Board Collage
In Self Interest, Julianna layers collage, paint, and mark-making to explore how self-image and value intertwine. A central figure gazes into a mirror while a bold red percentage symbol looms nearby — a nod to interest rates, personal gain, and the economics of identity. The work contrasts quiet reflection with visual chaos, suggesting how modern life blurs the line between introspection and self-promotion.
This piece invites the viewer to question what drives their own sense of worth — emotional, aesthetic, or financial.
