Nan Goldin — Self-portrait in the mirror, The Lodge
Nan Goldin

Self-portrait in the mirror, The Lodge

A raw and intimate self-portrait by Nan Goldin, capturing her reflection in a mirror with the unfiltered honesty that defines her confessional visual style. The dye destruction print renders the image in rich, saturated hues characteristic of the medium, lending the photograph a vivid yet vulnerable quality. The work exemplifies Goldin's practice of turning the camera on herself as both subject and witness, blurring the boundaries between documentation and autobiography.
