Glitched self-portraits

Glitched Self-Portraits: A Digital Deconstruction
In this captivating series, I explore the concept of self-destruction through deliberate digital degradation. One self-portrait per day, crafted using only my cellphone and a variety of glitch-inducing apps, forms a thought-provoking narrative.
A Daily Ritual
Beginning on June 5th, 2016, I embarked on a daily ritual of creating these glitched self-portraits, each one a testament to the ephemeral nature of digital identity. By harnessing the unpredictable power of glitches, I transform my own likeness into a distorted, abstract representation.
Disintegrating Boundaries
Through this series, I investigate the intersection of technology and self-perception. By systematically dismantling my digital self, I examine the fragility of online personas and the blurred lines between reality and virtual existence.
A Visual Diary
This collection of glitched self-portraits serves as a visual diary, chronicling my fascination with the destructive potential of technology. Each piece, with its unique blend of error and intention, contributes to a larger conversation about the transience of digital life.
An Ongoing Exploration
As I continue to create and experiment with new glitch techniques, this series evolves, reflecting my deepening understanding of the complex relationship between technology, identity, and artistic expression. Join me on this journey into the heart of digital disintegration.
