State of mind!
The image was created from a styrofoam head with colored cards and used computer parts, plastics, colored papers, vegetables, peanuts, etc.
The series has more images but the idea is to encourage the viewer to express themselves personally on the themes presented.
However, having a small digital camera, I started to acquire analog equipment and develop the photography learning activity in a self-taught way, using very old and medium format machines. My favorite camera is the Zeiss Ikon Nettar.
