Day 5. I think I was a little harsh on these in retrospect, but I think expressing my immediate response is good. I didn't feel fulfilled from my first, so I decided to do another to see if that time of looking at myself would affect the second. I don't feel it did. I felt a lack of focus on the physical and non-physical. Lead me to the idea of testing doing these with my eyes closed.

Day 4. I somehow once again made this an exercise in physical endurance. From that morning's breathing session, I became aware that my physical being is more than just my head.

Day 7. This turned into a very strange experience. I stared into one eye in the mirror and watched myself and the world shift and move. I aimed to capture these movements without 'drawing' accuracy getting in the way. The result was a portrait that I do not aesthetically like, but the experience was a freeing one that later impacted the following portraits.

Day 2. I wanted to explore a different position in this one. You can hear my thoughts immediately after completing the portrait. This felt similar to yesterday’s as I start to understand how to work within these.

Day 1. The full sped up one hour process and my thoughts on the first of these mirror self-portraits.
