This work represents myself in 3 different images
 
 
 
This image represents my duality, the way I have at the same time two different personalities that fight to take control of myself. In moments of stress, i wrestle between an highly emotional and sentimental person, trying to be controlled by a radical, cold, and mechanical way of trying to solve the problems of my life. In the end, I get more questions than answers, and do more harm than good.
 
I believe that photography is an egocentric act. We force others to see the world has we see it, we force our models to see themselves through our own perspective, and, when we make a self-portrait we confront ourselves. 
I always lived trying to figure out, what I represent to others and myself, always lived trying to understand myself- it's my daily confrontation. 
This photogragh is a statement about that confrontation, the shutter release cable leaves no doubt that I am the person in front and behind the camera at the same time. I force myself to see my own perspective, and face what I think of me. 

 
 Many people think that I am a very transparent person. That I am always honest, and have nothing to hide. The truth is, that I show a lot of myself, but that doesn't mean that people understand me completely.
I wanted to show by the transparency of the fabric how my personality can be deceiving.
 
The exposed part of my body, represents the things that people think of me that are indeed truth, my core values, or very pronouced personality traits. 
 
The part of my body, that is visible through the fabric, is my "hyper-reality", the characteristics that people think I have that are based on reality, but somewhat detatched from it
 
The rest of the fabric, is the misinterpretations, completly detached from my personality, lies in the pure sense of the word. Created by conjectures.
