Self-portraiture emerged as the most immediate point of entry—a practical exercise in dexterity that rapidly evolved from a casual log into a rigorous, foundational practice. Today, this ongoing visual archive serves as a site of profound personal mutation. The work captures the body not as a static form, but as a territory of constant migration, recording the shifts of an aging female form as it navigates the complex landscapes of reclamation, hard-won sobriety, and structural rebirth. My work investigates the somatic friction between visibility and sovereignty, exploring eroticism, body dysphoria, and the volatile edge between self-acceptance and destruction. Through the visceral acts of marking, layering, and erasing, I practice a deliberate, metaphoric self-immolation. This is an intellectual interrogation of the flesh—burning away past iterations to map the precise thresholds of survival, autonomy, and grace.&nbsp; Personal Prompts How do we navigate the somatic friction of being both the architect and the artifact of desire? In an era of hyper-curation, is the "authentic self" an origin point we return to, or a performance we iteratively refine through a frame? At what precise threshold does radical personal sovereignty cross into protective delusion—and how do we use ritual to tell them apart? What must be willingly given to the fire? How do we practice the deliberate, metaphoric self-immolation required to shed past iterations and cross the threshold into purification? <img width="2000" height="3091" width_o="2000" height_o="3091" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/32fb0321f66eeffaa3a9547675626cdea47c240f0a40cbc397b4f8944915f6ac/sp_2024_taj-2.png" data-mid="208131279" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/32fb0321f66eeffaa3a9547675626cdea47c240f0a40cbc397b4f8944915f6ac/sp_2024_taj-2.png" />Self portrait, 202011” x 15” India ink on watercolor paper <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/da5c1750414ae601de32f5e97667736f3ee614412a6739e57a5130f494f438c0/unnamed-2.jpg" data-mid="208132839" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/da5c1750414ae601de32f5e97667736f3ee614412a6739e57a5130f494f438c0/unnamed-2.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="3091" width_o="2000" height_o="3091" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7939757053477be7a764191e1997d780d7c8c6343b2962de89b2eb6f4de99c66/sp_2024_taj-3.png" data-mid="208131281" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7939757053477be7a764191e1997d780d7c8c6343b2962de89b2eb6f4de99c66/sp_2024_taj-3.png" /> Self portrait, 202172” x 96” Acrylic on canvas 2.
