An ongoing collection comprised of self-portraits since 2018. Each anthropocentric photograph states a story, revealing the different aspects of the individual’s personality and subjective identity.



The idea of the project coincides with the syntactic oddity of Rimbaud 's famous phrase "Je est un autre" - I is another, as through introspection we manage to "objectify" ourselves by experiencing our "being" as something detached from us. The process of placing the self in the story and identity of another personality ("persona") is fascinating and at the same time revealing, as each personality acquires its own entity, without necessarily being identified with elements of the artist's own personality.



The intense presence of the directorial element combined with the use of creative props, make up, and vintage clothing enhance the narration and dramatic perspective of the images.
