For over ten years, Ellen Sheidlin has been the main subject of her surreal self-portraits, transforming personal reflection into clear visual narratives. A notable aspect of Sheidlin’s work is the use of real, tangible objects — brought to life through imaginative staging and minimal digital enhancement.
