The steps return to themselves.

Original origin of the self-portrait (Art in the Origin - 2019)

Born and reborn
Portray and self-portray.
Undressing in front of yourself, in front of the camera, in front of the spectators.
Be discovered. Be fragmented.
Unknowns. Are they revealed or appear even more?
Are we part of the landscape or do we get into the landscape?
Does the camera undress us or do we do it for her?
Pudorous or exhibitionist?
Do we project our being or hide it?
Our ego is strengthened.
