Model Study 7 2008

Elina Brotherus is a contemporary Finnish photographer best known for her self-portraits. This work, "Model Study 7" (2008), is a self-portrait in which Brotherus is seated in front of a window, her back to the viewer. The use of a mirror in the background, reflecting the image of Brotherus, adds an additional layer of introspection. This work is a perfect example of Brotherus's signature style of self-portraiture, where the artist often explores themes of identity, introspection, and the passage of time.
