Take a photograph of a portion of your own body or someone else’s body (i.e. leg, arm, chest, neck, hands).
The photograph needs to have a feel of abstractness. A kind of mystery. Color or black and white. Any format.

3.
Create a diptych with the two images.
4. (optional)
Repeat step 1-2-3 for five times. Create five diptychs.
