The
series Self-Portraits is an attempt to expose the way images
(particularly self-portraits) are constructed. The subject is obstructed
by other elements in the image and is not visible in the frame.
The caption and the visual image seemingly contradict each other,
creating a slippage. The subject is not what we see, but rather
what is missing. This shift of focus however slight, changes the
way that we understand the image. The absence of the subject heightens
our desire for it, leading us back in an endless loop of searching
for that which cannot be found.
