RIGHT OF THE FIRST

Fine art portrait series — mirror, glass and duality

This series explores the human condition at the moment when certainty between a person and their image begins to dissolve


The mirror is not treated as a tool of self-knowledge. Instead, it becomes an environment of uncertainty in which familiar foundations of self-identification lose their reliability. The subject is confronted with the impossibility of defining the boundary between self and reflection, between presence and image, between memory and reality


My interest lies not in finding an answer but in examining the state of remaining within this uncertainty — a moment in which questions of primacy, ownership of the image, and the right to call oneself remain unresolved


“Right of the First” is an exploration of human presence at the threshold between certainty and uncertainty
