The aim of this study was to present a psychosocial analysis of self-representation in order to form a framework for describing the process of self-concepts development through the conceptualization of self-portraiture. Based on this framework, a self-portrait series titled Introspective Instability was developed. This artwork was included in the Atomic Jungle 2020 exhibition, through a virtual gallery in April 2020.

The self-portraitures Propped by Jenny Saville, and Self by Marc Quinn were analyzed, and a variety of articles and literature on relevant topics on contemporary art and psychological philosophies was consulted. It was found out that the efficacy of conceptualizing self-portraitures, to describe the personalities of the artists as they desire to be recognized, required components related to self-concepts to be analyzed and categorized against the social, cultural context of the artist.

Based on feedback on Introspective Instability, at the end of the project to ascertain if the goals of the project are effectively met, it appears that the themes from the artwork were mostly well-received as intended by the author.
