I covered an unused and long-lying photographic portrait with black enamel. I covered it to stop time, to keep the icon and to be able to mirror myself on the shiny surface of the enamel. I also did it to limit a waste of image and self-representation.
In the following years, I repeated the operation every time a similar situation arose. I will continue to do it later.
