Alexandra Rose's self-portraits explore the fluidity of identity and the evolution of the authentic self through time. By working with film and hand-painted chemicals, they engage in a slow, deliberate process that abstracts the moments they capture, allowing them to witness the gradual shifts in body, mind, and spirit. Through monochromatic imagery, often fragmented or distorted, Alexandra reflects on themes of containment, transformation, and impermanence. Their work captures the delicate balance between the physical vessel and the internal experience of being alive, constantly evolving and transforming. This creative process has enabled Alexandra to gain a deeper understanding of their own individual identity, revealing the progression of loss, change, and growth from a removed perspective, emphasizing what it means to be alive and evolving in their particular vessel.
