| 19 November 2002- "I'm ambidextrous, color-blind math grad student, 22. I have two master degrees and I'm two years away from my Ph.D. in Bioinformatics. From time to time I wish to ditch my college and do photography but I'm afraid I appear to be a coward and of course such attitude doesn't lead to anything except mediocrity, to be generous. Therefore my photos are being used exclusively in a utilitarian fashion for my own hedonistic fulfillment only :o)" |

 "Pechal" by Asya Schween |
||||||||||||||
| "I've started making self portraits continuously about year and a half ago. I of course did quite a few of them before, but the true 'obsession' came two years ago when I bought my first digital camera - powershot G1." | ||||||||||||||
| "My self portraits are not ordained by my desire to impose upon them something. I'm not an admirer/devotee/pretender of dark glamour and morbid beauty. I'm continuously producing self portraits and sometimes disgust/terrified/upset with them myself." | ||||||||||||||
| "I do self portraits just for fun, to escape from mind numbing boredom of mathematics, so I sometimes spend hours and hours to set up just one shot:)" | ||||||||||||||
| "Props! Oh yeah, props! Last week I caught myself buying useless stuff to make one shot and then throw it away. I'm renting a tiny studio (as in "studio apartment", not "the working place of a painter, sculptor, or photographer " ) in South Central, LA and my room and kitchenette are cluttered with IKEA storage boxes, canvas supplies and mathematical textbooks." | ||||||||||||||
| "I've never ever sold one before, I was giving them out to my icq pals, sending 'em as quintessential tacky gifts, getting rid of them by any means possible, etc... but never sold one. There's something creepy about it, I guess. Trite as it sounds, these self portraits are reflections of my own self, grotesque interplay of my mind and body realities, something rather personal, I believe. I've never considered selling them until now..." | ||||||||||||||
| "I have a glorious, promising, challenging, as well as splendid, magnificent and delightful professional future of applied mathematician. Ask my mom:) Yay! What a plan! :))" | ||||||||||||||
| "Asya Schween! Inexpensive soothing art for bedroom walls! Deep, penetrating, sensual! Dirt cheap! Buy one today!" | ||||||||||||||
