SELF-PORTRAIT
A self-portrait
poster sized 72 X 24 inches visualizes the data and story of how I met my husband.
About the project
The task was to create a self-portrait poster to reveal ourselves to our colleagues in the class aimed
to communicate ourselves by visualizing multiple layers of information.
Its was almost 10 months since I got married to Manan, my husband (when we were given this task). Whenever I met someone new, I was asked, “how long did you know your husband before getting married?” This question often traces me back to when & how we met through a mutual
friend Supratim, how we interacted, where we were, what we thought and when we knew ‘it’.
I often wondered, was it me who initiated the interactions or was it Manan? The self-portrait
poster visualizes all these questions and narrates the story of how I met my husband.
