I Took A Self-Portrait Every Day Of February, 2021, And Here Are The Results (28 Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

I am a self-taught Canadian artist. I conceptualized everything, built the set, dressed up (often making my own clothes), took a self-portrait and shared it on my Instagram every day of February. I call it the #SelfieProject which I started a lot of years ago looking for some experience shooting portraits.

Today, supported by Arsenal Contemporary Art Montreal, I keep on pushing the limits of what can be achieved in one month. It is a mix between photography, art installation, performance, and social experiment. Scroll down for the self-portraits from 2021! If you're interested, you can find my newest images on my Instagram!

I was born an artist! I never knew I was an artist until one of the biggest art collectors in Montreal told me, but it makes sense. Imposter syndrome you know, I still don't feel I fit in the box, but people have told me through my selfie project that I am the truest artist they know because there are no boundaries to what I do.

It needs saying, right from the git-go, that you have serious access to stuff. Owned, borrowed, rented... whatever, it's amazing. Brava. 👏

I started this project because I was very motivated to shoot portraits one day, and none of my cute friends were available. So I took place in front of the camera, and I loved the process so much (no pressure, full creativity) that I decided to do this for 30 days. And I did.

The most difficult part of the creative process would be to stay creative and bring an image every day for one month that is strong, visually appealing, with a good message, and that people can understand easily. I enjoy seeing that most often than not, I succeed in doing so!

I love and I’m grateful for having the liberty to be creative. I am allowing myself a full month where nothing can interfere with my art and that is the biggest gift I can give myself.

Reading or watching news about things over which you are able to have absolutely no influence or control is simply not good for a healthy life. Unfortunately, information is more important than before, and there exists no way to know in advance which road to hoe. Thanks to Dr. Weil.
