Self Portrait with Self Portrait & Reflection

Ok so, this was an experimental shot. I wanted to do something kind of surrealistic and with personal symbolisms. I'm really missing my childhood - a lot! I have great memories from that time, and I'm blessed with those. Here I used a portrait of myself when I was 3 years old. I remember perfectly the day of this shot! My mum washed my hair (I HATED when she washed my hair xDD) so we could go to the photographer's studio and take a couple of new photos. I was very blonde at the time; I don't know why it's so dark in it... Anyway, so, this room is my old bedroom's room. We used to live here, with my granny. We're now living next door, but my granny still wants to stay here and my brother is also living here. We spend our days here and there, so, we're all together - of course! <3 The house is very old but my dad keeps it in good state. This room is in need of maintenance which is being taken care of, already, hence that aspect. That piece of furniture is from my parent's wedding-bedroom's and since this one doesn't fit in their new room, it was kept here, still. The tshirt I'm using - kinda old and large already <.< - features E.T., one of my favorite movies that I used to watch when I was that (photo) age, even without knowing how to read, yes! xD I also used to watch "Predator", "Back to the Future", "Terminator"...but, hey, I didn't have any tshirt featuring those! xD I'm hiding my face because, well, I don't really like seeing myself with a serious face and since I have a self-portrait there I didn't have to - did I? The reflection is different from the posing, where you can see a bit of my face.

This was taken using only natural light coming from the window.
