The project consists of self-portraits where the face is no longer a reflection — it is an imprint, a cutout, a trace. Wire holds the parts together, serving as a fragile, temporary fixation of decay. In this work, age is depicted not as a physiological process but as the blurring of personal boundaries. Gradually, the face becomes more and more unfamiliar — like paper crumpling under fingers.
