Concept
I am always searching for the identity of what I feel when looking in a mirror and thinking “this is me.”
For example, can I remove “myself” from a self-portrait? Why is an artist necessary in painting?
Within myself who is unlike an artist, let me temporarily install an artist’s persona and then abandon it.
While imitating the establishment requirements of self-portraits up to the modern era, I extract the presence of the author.
Or while depicting a landscape, I remove the subject essential to landscape painting.
Yet something like body odor remains on the canvas.
I want to look more closely at the discomfort of those images that may not even qualify as painting.
