I use self-representation as an intimate and introspective investigation, transforming every self-portrait into a metaphysical manifesto. Like Narcissus in front of the mirror, I reproduce the image of myself, making my body the subject and the object of my research. Through this, I revise the confines of perception and create a hybrid form, that is a reflection of the mystery of the human condition. An altered human anatomy, which is, at times, unrecognizable, becomes a shapeless mass. Hybrid viscera, solitary and fragile, in an intimate metamorphosis towards death.
