I thought about making my own self-portrait. Today it's very easy to get a picture of yourself. Twenty years ago, we had to sit in front of a mirror as we did the portrait. This was uncomfortable. Or there was an analog camera. But the artist never wants to waste time.
With my phone I took these photos.
I have chosen among many photos. All very funny. But some are also terrifying.
In the end I chose a midway between fun and scary.
At this point I started drawing on a wooden board and I added a butterfly flight on my skirted head. Butterfly is the symbol of metamorphosis or rebirth. I resumed under different looks.
And this really is me. The first ones were just photos! : D
