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.
Your Frida Kahlo post the other day is a good addition to the discussion here! I thought I had written about her hear, but I guess I realized it would have taken me into too many new directions (good ones, but long!). Instead, I had the treat of hearing how you would tackle this.
