Jeppe Hein - WHO AM I WHY AM I WHERE AM I GOING - 2017
A stroll past the booths of any given international art fair will reveal that neon’s potential as a material in art seems far from being exhausted. Aside from the texts, enormous popularity is currently also enjoyed by works that play with the additional use of other materials besides neon. For instance, the conjunction of neon and reflective elements is attractive for some artists. Jeppe Hein has a whole series of works in which neon tubes are integrated into a semi-permeable mirrored box. The neon systems mounted behind the mirror are visible from the outside, while the mirror fulfils its usual function on the front. WHO AM I WHY AM I WHERE AM I GOING is written on one of them. Spectators confront themselves in a mirror, on which a message is mounted. It is obvious who the addressee is, since he or she sees himself or herself in the mirror. The messages are utterly direct, they transport the person standing opposite into the Here and Now. If one loses oneself in art during an exhibition visit, one will be jolted back to reality on arrival at this point. One is compelled to deal with oneself.

Ci sono giorni in cui lo specchio non rimanda solo un volto, ma una geografia di ricordi, di emozioni, di sogni e di mancanze e di speranze per una futura felicità.
Le espressioni e le rughe raccontano chi sei.

Today I had some pretty intense thoughts come to mind. I had a great woman's bible study meeting tonight. Which provoked even more intense thoughts. I had a great conversation with a great friend and talked about these things.
I haven't been myself for a very long time.....I have long been changing, manipulating, hiding, selective showing, leaning, weaning.....different parts of who I am.
I sit here now....28 years old, a single mother of one and just now starting to see who I am.
I honestly couldn't say the right words to give justice to this process I'm going through.
I will probably try to write about it tomorrow. It's nearly 2 am.....and I couldn't sleep. Had a little anxiety and found myself waking up with night sweats and such. I have had about 4 nights great sleep......which have been great since I was not sleeping well for months. So hopefully this is just from the fact that I had a big day....;o)
Thought this was aptly named as I have been doing a bit of self reflection over the past few days. Nothing too serious but just thinking about some changes I want to make in my daily life and maybe, just maybe, pushing myself beyond my comfort zone and taking a few classes to learn some new skills. it is far too easy to become compliant.
self-portrait
(September 18, 2015)
Location: Dallas Museum of Art, TX, US
I am bringing another self-portrait from the DMA. I took it a few hours ago during the opening night of the DMA's new exhibition "Spirit and Matter: Masterpieces from the Keir Collection of Islamic Art".
This is a reflection in a little mirror used for showing the details of a silver bowl coming from Anatolia or Syria (1180s). I have to admit that I was fascinated by every single object of the exhibition out of over fifty masterworks in various mediums (from rock crystal to works on paper, metalwork, ceramics, carpets, and textiles). Geometry, repetition and word were three essential elements that touched my aesthetic. Thanks to the lecture of Dr. Sabiha Al Khemir, Senior Advisor for Islamic Art, introducing the exhibition, I could probably have a better grasp of the mentality of the culture that produced them.

Just playing with reflection using the timer and natural light in my room
Please view, comment and critique my pictures as I appreciate any opinions in the quest to learn and develop in composing/shooting :)

reflection in the window on the 30th floor
A subtle play on a self-reflection in a glass doorway entrance inside the massive concrete Ross Building (1970), York University Toronto.
Was looking for a place to have lunch when I stumbled upon this wonderful aged building with reflective windows. Had a trying time taking this shot as I had to wait for the precise moment when there are no vehicles on the road! And boy, Surabaya do have a whole lot of motorbikes and cars. Talk about the perfect timing...

This is Ven Dangala Kusalagnana Thero. I met this buddhist monk last sunday in Düsseldorf. It was raining for hours - but he did not mind!
He told me there is no "bad weather" in buddhism. Everything is good, so he taught me. I really liked this positive point of view :)
Have a nice day!

It was dark, it was raining - so I had to push the film one stop to reach 1/15 (!) of a second shutterspeed. But it came out well (to my surprise) ;-)
Another day, another kairos overflowing with self-expression, self-reflection and possibly a touch of self-absorption.
So here's a question to you photographers: Do we add a piece of ourselves to every portrait we make? or does every subject add a little something to us? Discuss.

Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.

"Seduce my mind and you can have my body. Find my soul and I'm yours forever." -Anonymous. I guess no one wanted to take credit for the quote, lol. I can hear it now, 'Yeah, I said it, but please don't quote me on that'. But, but, but, you said it!! 'Yeah, but no one has to know I'm the one that said it.' All righty then...... :))
