self-portraiture

What is more important in self-portraiture – envisioning who you are (i.e. your “true self”) or envisioning who you wish to be (i.e. your “best self”)? Why?

I believe that envisioning who you are is more important then showing who you wish to be. Self-portraiture is by definition a picture or work of art representing an artist. With knowing the definition I can now understand why self- portraiture's should be a picture of the way you view yourself. If the picture shows what you wish to be it is not showing you.
