This piece started as me wanting to try out making art by cutting shapes out of paper and gluing them to my canvas, with the theme of the piece being type 6, the loyalist. It was based on how my boyfriend had liked me for 4 years before we started dating. While I was making the piece, said boyfriend cheated on me, then dumped me for another girl. The art turned into a perversion of the original meaning, and the pieces of paper I had cut out turned into the shattered remains of my heart.

This piece represents Type 8, the challenger or fighter. I wanted to encapsulate 8’s inability to ask for help, and their tendency to view any helping hands as another thing to fight. I’m going to make the background near the hands white to emphasize that they’re there to help, and the area behind the figure black to act as a sort of “battle ground”. I chose to make this piece a linoleum print because I thought it was fitting to have to carve into something and use force to create art, which is kind of how Type 8s need to be handled.

I wanted to have a piece that represented type 8 of the enneagram and their tendency to close themselves off from others who are trying to help. I had the main figure take up a fighting stance against the helping hands, despite him already being battered and worn from fighting. One of my goals was to push the perspective to make the figure seem small and weak despite their best efforts.

How do the enneagram types present themselves in me?
How have my experiences shaped my personality?
How can I use perspective to emphasize my message?
