“Want to” vs “Must”, which path to take? External and self-imposed
demands, appearances, the “what-will-they-say”, goals, career,
competition … they were entrapping me like roots into the soil until I
realized there were two ME conflicting on my inside and started to
wonder: why do I do what I do? Is this what I want to do for the rest
of my life? Am I defined by my actions? It is not my intention in this
introspective work to answer these questions but rather encourage the
reflection.
These images were made from pictures taken in Epecuén, a whole
town flooded, which story not only shake me profoundly but also
entwined with my life at the time: collapsed and overflowed by the
pressures and fears. I utilize the self-portraiture as means of
approximation with the observer.
