A marriage proposal is one of the most artificial moments in a romantic relationship and is often associated with the idea that a partner should complete you. The Joker (the archetype of madness) gets offered the eye he is supposed to have lost. In theatrical tradition, the figure of the Fool reflects the human condition through acid criticism, as he expresses what we do not or refuse to see.

SELF-REFLECTIONS is a series of satirical and surreal self-portraits, presenting a repertoire of four personalities that live inside the same person. Photographed as archetypes and fairy tale characters, they are named: The Villain, The Joker, The Prince and The Boy.

The images, meticulously constructed like paintings with in-depth work on their characterisation, colour and style, form allegorical tableaux whose narratives intertwine artistic, cinematic and philosophical references. They evoke the construction of identity, childhood, death, freedom, madness… sometimes to comedic effect.

Irony and subversion invite the viewer to a striking world filled with a strange chromatic unreality, a theatre of the absurd where a single actor plays all the roles.
