The self portrait is a photograph of the artist, and allows him to use his own form for expression. I find that many artists tend to give their photographs far too much meaning for their given subject matter - taking subtle imperfections in their images and blowing them out of proportion, saying they are metaphors for their lives. I think it's obscene.
This photograph depicts myself, highly dramatized in front of blood spatter, and through the refection of a broken mirror. The objective was to portray myself in a way to show myself so obviously in a struggle, and in such a manner as to make it banal, almost satirical.
