A los 40. As I was approaching 40, I realized that time was catching up with me. Thus, I decided to embark an artistic journey alongside time by taking pictures of myself on a daily basis. As a result, I decided to take daily pictures. In the set of my self-portraits the changes were not as significant as to illustrate the progression of time. I could have switched the order of the images and it wouldn’t made a difference in my final work, but when you relate the self-portraits to the constructions, an absence of time becomes apparent.
