The image shows a blurred figure — myself — seated on the bed my father once slept in. It emerged from conversations with him, as I tried to imagine how he might have seen me before he died. A self-portrait wrapped in reflection from another’s perspective.


The work holds both intimacy and distance, presence and absence. The soft focus and diptych structure echo the fragility of sight, memory, and vision loss, while also pointing to the beginnings of my process: altered lenses, intentional blur, and the embrace of instability as a way of translating lived experience into image.
