I believe creating a death/life mask is a sublime moment between life and death, art and identity. It is a “living memorial” to a person still alive, an attempt to capture a person at a specific moment. It extends both the matter of identity and temporality beyond pictorialism into literalism and beyond, an exploration of ones own mortality in self-portraits. When I look at my own death/life mask it is me, but also not me, a portrait of myself, capturing a certain chapter in my life but also making me in a way immortal and not constrain to a specific time.
