As the screen inverts the image once more, another version of the portrait emerges.This self-portrait began as a digital photograph taken on a camera and transformed through image inversion before being translated into paint. By requiring the viewer to use their own device to reveal the image, the work explores the increasingly intertwined relationship between humans and screens. The portrait exists between physical and digital space, questioning how technology mediates perception, self-representation, and the act of looking itself.
