What a fascinating discussion on the study of self-portraits; I love the way you introduce the idea of the selfie as self-portraiture. Your selfie's during lockdown and of your early days as a new mother are a wonderful way to capture a place and time for the future. I have to confess that I am not very good at taking pictures including selfie's, and usually rely on my kids to take them of us as a family!
I have been thinking a lot about these ideas of images within the media lately also in my own posts, as well as identity and how it is expressed and understood.
