Angelika Ejtel

I'm a Polish self-portraitist currently based in the U.S. I graduated in French language; later, I did my research in linguistics. I consider my photographic creation as a poetic experience. Although, all of my photographs are self-portraits, they should not be necessarily read as self-presentations, rather they should be revealed as the multiplicity of selves available to one individual. To put it succinctly, my attitude towards the self is more of an exploratory journey between an awareness of self and an unawareness of some aspects of oneself. All of my pursuits in photography so far, are self-taught, purely intuitive and deeply-rooted in linguistic theories of cohesion in text.
