Self portrait collection

every work eventually is a self-portrait. a man can never escape from himself especially not by creating. we will always try to create repeatedly our own copies of ourselves without even knowing what we are trying to do. like a mouse in a self trap that is big as the whole world
except being a totally free model, self-portrait allows the freedom to be ugly, unfitted or some other variations of self.
Actually, it is very likely that a person will draw the first portrait of his own face. It is the closes and most patient friend that will never move nor complain.
So far in general.
me, Well, I want to believe that I had already found myself after being lost, belives however will always stay believes, they are a thin patch for the unknown, therefore With those portraits, I seek into the black holes that float behind my eyes. This poor action of looking, searching, can hopefully dig into more holes deeper in my mind.
NOT every portrait is meaningful.
But one after another they leave for me those print steps to find myself. every time I dig a different portrait, I live minor signatures of temporal existence in time and space.
Yes, I have a lot of them.
