Artist Statement - Self Portrait

I picked three picture that contain my figure. Two of them were my reflections from mirrors shoot by myself. Another one was shoot by someone else, who received my request. I think self-portrait is a very interesting topic. We rarely see ourself (appearance/movement) because most times we were watching others. We learned from others behaviors/ judges and shaped to please them. In the end, we forgot who we really are. Self-portraits force one to study one's own personas both physically and emotionally. It is an exploration to see behind the mirror and try to search into the soul.
