“Self-portrait”, collage, 12,4x13 cm

A sizeable chunk of my inner life consists of memories, impressions and sensations that I would love to share with others, but can't quite translate into words or images. Because that essential part of my personality remains hidden, I sometimes feel constrained by the way people perceive me, as if being forced into a role I was never born to play. This is a not so succesful attempt to depict what's under the surface, what others can't see.
