Self-Portrait depicts Flack with a gesture of speech and open mouth as the artist is addressing the viewer, asking us to look at her and listen to what she has to say. 
The work suggests self-confidence, but also the shielding of the inner self.  Flack has a psychological distance that keeps us from identifying with her, unlike past self-portraits. The effect further intensified by the size of the portrait - it resembles a poster more than a life-size portrait. Most of Flack's works are large enough to compare to this portrait in size. She presents herself in Self-Portrait as a real figure of authority, and has a vocal presence (Gouma-Peterson 33).

What I find most interesting in this work is the idealizes view of herself that Flack presents. She has a perfect, idealized face, minimizing any scars or marks and replacing it with a porcelain-like complexion. In this way, Self-Portrait reminds me of her goddess manifestations, such as Macarena of Miracles.
