“Looking Within” by Asya Schween

July 18, 2007

Live in your inner self alone
within your soul a world has grown,
the magic of veiled thoughts that might
be blinded by the outer light,
drowned in the noise of day, unheard...
take in their song and speak no word.

Fyodor Nabokov

A mix between photography a digital art. Some images are well beyond my taste limit, but the self-portrait heading this post caught my attention. I always find very interesting how photographers picture themselves. It is clear that Asya Scheween has a message to convey, even if it is difficult to relate to.

I’m now 25. I have two master degrees and a PhD, I live thousands of miles away from home and speak a foreign tongue. I no longer compete. I do enjoy photography, though I reluctantly share it and prefer not to sell my prints. I mostly hear praises and accolades and, understandably, enjoy them.- Asya Schween
