I have been working on this for 3 year, in my artistic practice and my personal development.
The words that come to mind about 3 year ago are sadness, anxiety, and loneliness. I had all this feeling inside of me and I didn't know why. I remember that during those days I lost connection with myself. I didn’t have time to take care of me; my daughter and my daily obligations absorbed me. One night my baby was sleeping and I woke up in the middle of the night, the light of bathroom was on. That light was calling me, that night I saw a woman in front of me. A woman that I couldn't recognize as myself. The reflection in the mirror showed me that I became a stranger in my own body.
Photography opened the new possibility to express myself as a way of dealing with all the confusion. It opened the new possibility to express myself as a way of dealing with all the confusion.
I ended up taking self-portraits, it was a perfect time to start using photography as a way to explore, ponder and express some of this. In the beginning, the camera was my mirror. I shot myself as an object. Them I had a vision of an entire series using a mirror and myself in order to create a dialog, a narrative.
I had been thinking about the way we see different reflections of ourselves. This has always brought up the questions of perception, truth, reality and how a reflection can be reality deceptive, even though it’s usually assumed to be true.
