This self-portrait series exemplifies an innovative approach to exploring conservation themes within the realm of visual arts. The project is characterized by the artist's commitment to repaint their image monthly, effectively layering new portraits over old ones without the intervention of a separating background or color block. This technique directly references the historical practice of canvas reuse, commonly seen in the works of many artists, and introduces a contemporary interpretation of 'pentimenti' – a term traditionally used to describe changes or alterations visible in a painting.

In constructing the physical aspects of this work, the artist meticulously crafted the stretcher and prepared the canvas with utmost care, employing rabbit skin glue for sizing and applying multiple layers of finely sanded gesso. This preparation underscores the artist's dedication to traditional methods while pushing the boundaries of material endurance.

This ongoing project is thoroughly documented, with the ultimate objective of driving the painting to a point of failure before attempting restoration. This experimental approach injects a sense of unpredictability and excitement into the project, as the artist navigates the uncharted territory of their evolving self-representation. The process and its documentation are crucial components of the work, offering viewers an intimate glimpse into the artist's journey and the evolving nature of self-portraiture.
