Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell the truth.
- Oscar Wilde
I have mapped the layers, ideas and masks I carry around and which I call Sara. Is it possible to make a portrait of the self? What do I choose to show and hide? With an instant polaroid camera as a tool, I have tried to catch the person behind the actor.
All the works are made in my first very own garden. The images are printed on a classical hiking map paper and folded to a size I can carry with me and continue to work on.
