Self-Portrait Inspiration

When given the task of how to make yet another portrait of myself (I have already been assigned at least two others in college), I struggled to think of something new. A portrait is defined as a representation or impression of someone. Since I obviously cannot communicate the complexity of who I am in one piece, I struggle to choose one characteristic or image that is a particularly defining quality.

Stylistically, I am very drawn to infographics. The lines are simple and the focus is on communication of ideas, but mainly actions. Lately I have been feeling weary and bored by my daily routine. Sometimes the monotony is so overwhelming I feel like retreating into depression or bottling up my anger. I'm thinking about how to communicate the banality of what feels like the vast majority of my actions. I want busy but chalk full of insignificance.
