Self-portrait

50*60.5cm, Oil on Canvas

I perceive myself in the chain of digital language. As I paint, this is the me that emerged. I don't know who I am. I don't know where I am. I don't know what I look like. Yet, when
a face materialized amidst this web of lines and numbers,

I recognized myself. Absent eyes, ears, ethnicity, gender, artificial intelligence, or consciousness. Still, I exist within this picture. Shedding imagined sense of self and passions, I see: this is me.
