Artist statement

Fotoautocreation (six variations on self-portrait) I am alone in the house, click. I listen to my favorite music, click. And maybe now I will read a book? click. Mom's birthday, click. Christmas, click. Subject for college, click. Well, it's now time to rest, click. Mountains, sea, lake, click. I want to get to know myself, click. Hump, weakness, click. Body ache, click. For better mood, click. Happiness, love, click. And a box of self-portraits is ready ... And there came to me a thought, through which I experienced the irresistible desire to cut out myself from photos. I started to play with those Alinas, like with dolls and set them in various configurations. I became a director of a kind of theater. I wove in new situations, I created a world, in which they arose again. I could play with my image. Thanks to that, I could look at myself from a different perspective. I became an observer of reality that has been created. My images started to interact with each other. There were arose again completely detached from me, began to "live" without me, by themselves.
