The Deconstruction of the Self

The following collection of works invites you to walk the shifting paths of self knowledge.

Fragments, faces, echoes of memory, the self taken apart, exposed, recomposed.

Through self-portraits, I encounter myself, again and again.

This process goes beyond what the mirror reveals. It becomes a way to access hidden states of awareness, to glimpse parts of my being that surface often conceals.

Though my face remains mine, it also reflects the passage of time, the quiet, undeniable evolution of who I am.

These portraits do not simply show me as I appear, they trace the transformation of my body, my thoughts, and emotions.

This exhibition gathers only painted self portraits. Sculptural ones will be shown separately.
