Sextennial (Self-)portraits

I was up for making some art yesterday. I've felt the need to open my insides and have been working on this (right-most) piece for quite some while. I didn't feel like I got it completely right on spot, but I'm still happy. It is influenced by Orwell and Huxley, and the dystopian feeling of "being a mechanical part of the machine". It's interesting to see a development in periods of 6 years (first one is me, though it "artistically" portraits only the view of whoever took the school shots back then). Others are solely made by me.

Zoom in for a proper view.

In 1998, I spent most of my time in the internet, isolated to some degree.
In 2004, I felt I was destined to fail in finding my place within the reality.
In 2010, I was having memory problems and perplexing anxiety, fearing I was losing my mind.
In 2016, I am struggling with existential nihilism.
