For my self-portrait, I tried to include the multiple facets of my WPI career.\u00a0 Currently, I am a mechanical and robotics engineering dual major.\u00a0 One of my primary reasons for this came when I was about ten years old and saw\u00a0Iron Man<\/em> for the first time.\u00a0 After finishing the movie, I knew I wanted to make my own suit, like most children who watched it, however, that is not a realistic career path.\u00a0 Instead, I’ve chosen to pursue a career in the development of defense technologies- essentially working for the military from the civilian side.<\/p>\n

In order to portray that goal in my collage, I inserted the iconic Iron Man mask under my face to represent the desire that is always with me as well as speaks to my analytical mindset. In addition to this, I placed the Empire symbol from the\u00a0Star Wars\u00a0<\/em>franchise and the symbol for Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity on opposing shoulders in a mimicry of the patches and tattoos that soldiers wear in order to identify themselves to others.\u00a0 Finally, the cavity in the center of my chest is supposed to be a comparison between the power station of some building or large robot and what I use in order to stay awake and functioning every day.<\/p>\n

Below, you can find the pictures and links to all of the reference images I used.<\/p>\n
