I wonder why I must be described or defined or portrayed, as if its something that stays still long enough to capture. I thought about this as I thought of who I was. If I change as fast as I am able to note down the instances, what’s the point? Then perhaps rather than trying to show me explicitly, I can perhaps focus on showing change. The change of time, of place, or stories, of histories and of emotions. Maybe if the focus is on this non-ending change I can then show a glimpse into who I am.
What is change
Change is defined as …
“1. to make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone: to change one’s name; to change one’s opinion; to change the course of history.
2. to transform or convert (usually fol. by into): The witch changed the prince into a toad.
3. the act or fact of changing; fact of being changed.

About a self portrait
What are the things that make up a life? Is it the notion of events, achievements or people and places? Am I made up of lists of things or of the prose of the things that come from those lists? Is it random or organized, does it have an end and a beginning? And can I interpret the moments of life as a series of graphical statements? Can I visually describe what has up to this point, been me?
