Infinite Reflections: Art Meets Self-Perception

Amateur photograph from 1998, shot on disposable camera, harsh flash, film grain. A middle-aged artist sitting at a cluttered desk in a dim room. He is painting an oil painting on a stretched canvas. He is looking at an old beige CRT computer monitor. The image on the CRT screen is a photo of the artist himself painting the recursive image. The painting on the canvas is also the artist painting himself. Droste effect, infinite recursion. On the desk sits a circuit board labeled "Nano Banana Pro". Messy art studio background. --ar 4:3 --style raw --v 6.0
