In this self-portrait I imagine myself less as a discrete object and more as a bounded field of signals. The head, neck, and shoulders define a familiar outer contour, but what feels like “me” is the behaviour of the horizontal waves that inhabit that shape. Each scanline is a single momentary reading of how ordered or agitated my internal state is, and the whole portrait becomes a stacked archive of those measurements. A quieter periphery suggests a capacity for structure and stability, while a more turbulent inner band reads as the zone where interpretation, doubt, and association are constantly in motion. Because all of this activity is organised around a central axis and repeated from top to bottom, the drawing feels to me like a mask built from resonances: a body-shaped frame whose identity emerges from the rhythm of its own vibrations rather than from any fixed feature.
