JENNIE Creates a Sculpture of Herself | Vanity Fair

this is a self-portrait so this is basically me right okay I know I have an idea it looks like something that would be in like stranger things or [Music]

something hi I'm Jenny and I'm going to be sculpting my [Music] self-portrait feel like I'm in an art

class right now I don't think I'm a good sculptor at all I am kind of scared to do this I'm taking my nails off guys I don't

think I can sculpt with these this is my body I'm trying to build my body first and then I want to do the [Music]

face I think my eyes also because I'm kind of blind I can't see well so I have to like look at myself really close up in the mirror and then and then my eyes

are there it's more of a lifestyle than one era for me everything regarding what I do is to do with my album my mindset I'm

prepping my body for my album and what what's to come after so that I think that's what I mean by it's become a lifestyle of mine this is really

fun I wonder if there's a tool to help me you need to cut like to pet I really thought about it and my

answer is I want to enjoy this life as a pop star and then think about what to be in my next lifetime I like the present

moment the best I love my job what do you love most about it that I get to sculpt something in front of 30 people okay finally time to cut

something can I take this afterwards yeah shoes then I'm going just need to perfect [Music]

everything I think I'm still figuring that out I still don't know when to stop um yeah I'm so accustomed

to keep going and there's still so much on on my list that I want to get done and I push myself further every time so

I haven't meet met my limit yet I'm planning like next year maybe I could start slowing things down being at home is one of my favorite things to do I

haven't really had time to really like stay home after the pandemic so that's something that I want to do more in the

future and maybe go on vacations stay in bed um as long as I want and then watch a movie and eat something good that's all I'm asking for

[Music] really um my essentials from my home I

like to bring my pillow and my blanket with me so I feel as closely as being at

home I have a very big luggage that I bring every where I go and it basically has everything um from my house I think it's

more of a comfort thing like I'm sure we I can buy the same thing but just the feeling of having something from home I wish I had like another darker red can

you [Music] help wow that's a good question I'm like the

friend in the group that keep keeps everything not fall out of places they come to me a lot when they need to

decide on something or need [Laughter] help that that really just came out of

nowhere um thank you I'll keep it right here are you going to use it I don't think so I'll try oh oh you made it really

soft I can mix [Music] it that

I don't give up um this is something that I've learned about myself during a time of working on my album I don't

think I can say that this journey was easy but every time I I faced a new situation

or learned anything new I kind of kept pushing myself to do more in Within Myself and that's that's how the album

was made so I'm so proud of it and I love that about me everything thing was a challenge for me this was my very

first time working on an on a solo album a full album I really just ran

into brand new things I'm making petals right now of a flower trying to make a red rose did you want to make that or

this is my face oh that's your face that yeah [Music] I get really distracted when I listen to

music if I need to be focused I don't listen to music I meditate started doing it a lot more during the

pandemic and yeah it became a a lifestyle so meditation is a part of my album and

what a lot of the times I'm most creative when I'm meditating with my own words and my own Expressions because I know it's in a safe place it really just

helps me focus on myself and the stronger and confident you feel about yourself like the better version of you

appears and also there's so many benefits I just can't list them all right now but it was a crucial part of my album

[Music] I don't have self-doubt that's how I got here I'm just really clear on what I want and what I like and it can change

over time from learning new things and experiencing new things but I always like

to sorry it's from what I'm making I always like to believe 100% in the way I think

and deal with the consequences this I'm so sorry guys am I like over

timing okay guys I am ready to reveal my self-portrait in three

two ta this is who I am right now this is how I envision myself with my album Ruby coming out I am peaceful I am Zen

I'm blooming in the ruby red color and I'm just sitting there meditating this is how I see myself and yeah the back I'm

just manifesting this this is so special thank you Vanity Fair for creating this time I had so much

fun working with Clay today and answering you guys' questions
