“If one has lost an arm or a leg,
one knows an arm or a leg has been lost.
But if one has lost the self,
if one has lost himself,
he can not know it.
Because he is not there to know it.”
Luis Buñuel

From setting off personal histories and memories, we started to think about the theme “self-image”. The image of myself that I perceived and the images reflected by the society. From these individual discussions and questions, we started to search on the small, tiny changes at the posture and how the presence of the person is affected from these changes. The work has composed its own posture, presence and its territory on the stage.
