These self-portraits were taken by me in early 2023. They were not conceived as a single project, but they reflect the same idea and are executed using the same techniques. Every creative person periodically faces the problem of a creative crisis. This period is often difficult and painful. This portfolio is an attempt to display by means of photography the feelings and emotions that the artist is immersed in during this difficult period for him. Of course, when creating these works, I relied on my personal experience, but I think that many artists recognize themselves in these images.
