Design Idea: Double self-portraits

IMAGINE FINDING ME

I found these double self-portraits incredibly thought provoking. Images that seem to travel through time...
As a child, what might you ask your future self? As an adult, what would you ask or tell your childhood self? What might we hope to do differently..?

Chino Otsuka inserts modern photos of herself as an adult into photos of herself as a child.

1976 and 2005, Kamakura, Japan:


1985 and 2005, Tiananmen Square, Beijing, China:



1982 and 2005, Paris, France:





"If,
again
I have a chance to meet,

and so much I want to tell"
