I definitely see that. I also see him grappling with identity, likely the result of his years with (relatively) carefully managed presentation. In the mirror painting, we don't see the front of his body directly, only a limited reflection that he chooses to show us. And we're given a peek through is eyes in the bathtub, but with only limited parts of his body exposed from out of the water. It's like he's trying to express that there's more to him as a person than what we saw.
