I take a lot of self portraits.
I don't do it because I am obsessed with myself or because I want a new profile picture. I do it because I have to create what's inside of my head. I just happen to be the only person around.
I use myself because I am far from obsessed with the way I look. I think I like to recreate myself or make myself look more like how I imagine I could be in my head.
I have a hard time accepting who I am.
I take my self portraits in the bathroom or my bedroom. These are places where I am enclosed and shut off from everyone else. I do this in other situations as well. I always put up walls. There are probably only two people that know how I really am all the time.
If I knocked down these walls, I would be how I wish I was, but that would leave me vulnerable.
