The prompt was to read the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows and pick a word that represents a part of you. Create a self-portrait inspired by that word. Come up with a word that means the opposite of the word you picked earlier. Create an inverted render of your portrait to fit that word.

Starting word:
NightHawk
n. a recurring thought that only seems to strike you late at night—an overdue task, a nagging guilt, a looming and shapeless future—that circles high overhead during the day, that pecks at the back of your mind while you try to sleep, that you can successfully ignore for weeks, only to feel its presence hovering outside the window, waiting for you to finish your coffee, passing the time by quietly building a nest.

Invented antonym:
DayLark
n. an entrancing thought that flits through your mind, disappearing as suddenly as it came. The memory is intangible as a dream, but you miss it as soon as it's gone. You try to remember but it's too intangible.

NightHawk- Tonal grey-blue self portrait of a female with long hair wearing glasses and a grid patterned collared shirt. Her mouth is closed and is slightly sneering. There ghostly transparent pin feathers sprouting from the left side of the face. Three fully grown feathers frame the arm of aviator style glasses. The part of the face visible through the lenses of the glasses are a bright golden yellow, radiating light. Beams of light cut diagonally from the lenses down to the bottom right, similar to streetlights at night.

DayLark- The same image as NightHawk, vertically mirrored. The blue has been replaced by a golden mustard yellow. The yellow beams of light are now a bright cyan blue.
