Artist Statement~

Mikayla Marie Ackerschott
Class of 2012
Who am I?
I am compassionate. I am stubborn. I am enthusiastic. This portrait is a better illustration of whom I am and who I will become, than simply giving you a straightforward paragraph explaining myself. It shows my past, present, and future in seven humble letters and eleven altered images all fixed together in my own depiction. The background shows my roots from the beautiful Snake River in Idaho to one of San Diego’s strong piers. My culture, within the backdrop, has shaped my virtues, beliefs, and goals towards becoming a daughter that my parents can be proud of. Each character has a visual representation of a part of me that would otherwise be silent in a plain photo, giving it meaning and life.
