Uncertain Self
Self-portrait during an uncertain time after I was diagnosed with Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), also called paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. Basically, it's defined as an abnormally fast heartbeat. It's a broad term that includes many forms of heart rhythm problems (heart arrhythmias) that originate above the ventricles (supraventricular) in the atria or AV node. I've been suffering for most of my adult life. This self-portrait captures the uncertainty and my anxiety.
