Self-portrait II
(February 14th, 2019)
Englewood, Florida, U.S.A
The Oz Tree House was a part of the whimsical property of Te. It was quite an unusual stay for me for a multitude of reasons. It felt so inspirational to be surrounded by art almost everywhere. I loved old books (I wish I could read them all in one night), stylish antique furniture, incredible gardens and so many other little things.
I think I will remember this place for its unique eclectic style for sure, but also for a little book I found in the bathroom late at night and these words by Virginia Satir written inside: “Life is not the way it's supposed to be, it's the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference”. I read two more quotes that I can't recall anymore, then I decided to learn just this one by heart, so I repeated it a few times, and it was still there in my head in the morning. It made me so happy to realize this simple truth about life that it seemed that suddenly my life became easier; the life that wasn't the way it was supposed to be...
I took this self-portrait in the bathroom. There were three mirrors there, all three so incredible that I couldn't really decide which one to choose.

About the project:
I wish to look at myself in all reflected streets and places I will be passing by. These self-portraits are inspired by Vivian Maier's self-portraiture: www.vivianmaier.com
