Out of curiosity, what kinds of questions? I'm VERY interested as to exactly what people are thinking.

And thank you for the comment too!!

Ok ... it makes me wonder if the mask is a form of suffercation, or is it symbolic of wearing a mask of 'being ok' to the outside world? And yet another question it throws up is if the mask is the only thing protecting the subject from the 'contamination' of the outside world, as this is the function of a gas mask. The posture is protective and yet relaxed and the tilt of the head makes me think 'leave me alone'. Overall the head gear forms a private bubble around you and your state of mind, thats the way i see it at any rate ) xx

Ah, very nice. I don't tend to explain my work, but this piece DOES have something to do with a kind of "confort in confinement" theme. Thank you so much for your thoughts. It's people like you that truely inspire me.

Awesome. Great self-portrait.
Love your work to death.

this image is raw, cold, and simply depressing. Great work.
