ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This work belongs to my ongoing project called "The Art Of Reflection" whose name is derived from the book with the very same title by Marsha Meskimmon. I wish to experiment with all kind of surfaces to reflect my "selves".

"Deconstruction Of Self" is an attempt to apply linguistic theories of cohesion in text (meronymy), and a form of philosophical and literary analysis (deconstruction) to question the fundamental meaning of human body. As a linguist and self-portrait artist myself, I am on a constant self-discovery journey.

AUTHOR
Angelika Ejtel (alias RapidHeartMovement) was born and raised in Poland. She graduated in French and Romance Philology

She has been always passionate about the beauty of words, poetry, and profoundly moved by arts. It was only a few years ago when she discovered the poetry of a famous Polish poet- Halina Poswiatowska, who inspired most of her work. In October 2013, she published her first portfolio in “Arte Fotogràfica”-international Fine Art Photography Magazine.

The love for Poswiatowska’s poetry and photography soon blossomed into a passionate journey into art and self. She held her first art exhibit in September 2015 at the Festival of Photo MAP in Toulouse, France as a winner of Young Talent competition. Angelika’s photographs have been featured in exhibitions and publications throughout the country as well as internationally (New York, U.S.A., Budapest, Hungary;London, UK; Athens, Greece). Some of her latest achievements are awarded the third place winner in the GEOMETRY 2016 contest by The New York Center for Photographic Arts in May 2016, the Artistic Achievement by Louisville Art Association at the 25th National Photography Show in June 2016, Louisville, CO, U.S., the First Place Winner in photography category in October 2016 in “Art Hop”- Statewide Arts Competition, Georgetown Art Center, TX, U.S., and a solo exhibition by the Fort Worth Community Arts Center in March 2017.

Angelika uses herself as a subject for her images. She considers her photographic creation as a poetic experience in which she drowns and infuses herself and, as a result, it gives her the feeling that she is reborn with each portrait into a new being. Although, all of her photographs are self-portraits, they shouldn’t be necessarily read as self-presentations, rather they should be revealed as the multiplicity of “selves” available to one individual.
