English At first, I wanted this video to be more poetic. A piece of art by itself. Almost a video statement that could account for presenting me as an artist.

Full Body Blind Self Portrait
English: I still feel very uncertain about the value of these drawings as art, or whether they are just part of a process or a personal ritual.
