Frida Kahlo Selfie - Nicole Corvi

Frida Kahlo - Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird (1940)

    For this week's selfie, I did my own spin on Frida Kahlo's Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird. I made a collage out of dreamy photographs I have taken, as well as included a dated polaroid of myself that looks a bit similar to Kahlo's picture above (I mean, at least I see some resemblance). I also included a quote about dreams to emphasize surrealism. 

Quotes

" A mastermind at using fashion to her advantage, Kahlo delivered red-carpet moments wherever she went," (Kleinman 2019).

"Visitors will better understand Kahlo’s skill in searing her likeness into the public imagination, even if it meant dangling monkeys around her head and cultivating her most recognizable physical traits — a statement ’stache and unibrow," (Kleinman 2019).
