"Self-portrait is not necessarily a way of knowing oneself; it’s a way of taking a needed break from the self.

Selfies are an embarrassment to Narcissus.

A portrait without poetic dimensions reduces a subject to half the individual.

What can’t be written is visualized.

The visual language is the supremacy of silence."

Very original and nice portraits from that artist.

Gifted fellow, worth knowing... I hope you check out his website :)

Yes, I took time to check it and it's very interesting. A nice project and good making, what a final... I relly love it.
Thanks to share :)

I was meditating, practice some sport, relax, reading a nice book.

Sounds like a good day for mind, body and soul 🙏🏼

That sounds like a fun day 👍
All I had was nothing special. Home all day, some cooking and movie, I dont even remember what I was watching. Ah an old Indian movie .

I love the sunset the baked zucchini and potatoes 😊

A healthy day is a blessing.
Self-care is important, too.
