Self portrait with mushroom

I've been thinking about posting my art on here as well, as I think this might be a good platform to give some more insight about the motivation behind some pieces, so I'm going to start that now with my newest piece.

"Self portrait with mushroom"

There's not a lot to say about this, in a way that most of it is to be kept inside my mind. I'm not good at expressing things through abstract means, I could never draw a pattern and call that a symbol of the anxiety in me. It just doesn't seem right. So I draw things as they are, more or less, I've never actually held that mushroom in my hands, haha. It's a symbol after all, but also very tangible, after something a friend told me. It's there and attainable, but not quite yet. It's quite the anticipation.
