Who were you first? How many times will you change in a lifetime? Which version of you survives? "Proto" layers a self-portrait beneath scorch marks, streaked erosion, and fractured pigment. Imagined as a rendering in ochre on cave stone, the face now emerges through algorithm and glitch. The artwork explores the formation of identity, lineage, and the transformative nature of time. Self-portrait remix via custom built glitch app.
