self portrait in the water

Nobody knows the real me.
I do not even understand the real me.
Nationality, Gender, Status, Occupation, Academic underground, rumor.....
People see me with stereotype through filter such as.
I also categorize people.
It may be necessary to survive in this society.
I have been taking myself many interesting my expressions.
How do you see me?


I took myself to set up a camera side of the tub.
I dive in the water many times and take myself by self timer.
It shows various kinds of me.
I established my shooting style by exploring the best time to take , exposure of camera
and way of making bubbles.
