The Question

I brought everything close until only a head and a screen were left. Where the eyes and mouth should be, a phone has taken their place. On the phone is the sentence I typed myself: do you remember yourself? The hands are raised to type, so the figure asks the question while disappearing behind it. There is no face anymore. There is only the device that has replaced it. Heidegger wrote about how we can slowly lose ourselves without noticing. We begin to live like everyone else, think like everyone else, and do what everyone else does. Little by little, the person we were supposed to become starts to disappear. That is what this screen has swallowed. I made the question small and ordinary, like a simple text message to a friend, because forgetting yourself often arrives in that same quiet way, one tap at a time. Part of the series Do You Remember Yourself? by Mehdi Rooz. Also available as a complete three piece set.

Premium archival smooth matte fine art paper with a bright white surface, crisp detail, and refined color reproduction. Each print is framed in matte black with white matting and acrylic glass for a clean gallery presentation.

Each work begins as an original digital composition and is produced as a physical fine-art print using professional archival materials. This is not a hand-painted original; it is a gallery-quality printed edition created from the artist’s digital artwork.

Each work is printed and prepared after checkout. Shipping is included for addresses in the contiguous United States unless otherwise noted.

Works are produced through a professional fine-art print workflow using archival materials and gallery-quality output. Production begins after the order is confirmed.

Because each piece is produced for the collector, returns are reviewed case by case. If an item arrives damaged, contact the gallery with photos so the issue can be resolved.
