Artwork description:

This limited edition photographic print is a striking self-portrait that captures the artist's fascination with drawing and mark-making. Set against a black and white backdrop, the artist's body is adorned with intricate, blue pen-drawn designs, creating the illusion of a canvas covered in tattoos. The image is a powerful reminder of the artist's childhood, when they would scribble on anything they could find, honing their craft and filling notebooks with a mix of musings and drawings.

The photograph is a testament to the power of memory and the beauty of imperfection. Each mark on the artist's body tells a unique story, with some holding significant meaning, while others simply represent moments in time. The irony of the piece lies in the fact that, in today's digital age, personal diaries often take the form of social media posts, text messages, and voice notes. That’s the reason why this piece is not unique, but limited edition.

This limited edition print is an opportunity to own a piece of art that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. It is a celebration of the human impulse to create, to leave our mark on the world, and to embrace the imperfect beauty of our own stories.
