Irrational fear of your image

[CheertheSecond]

If I can draw, sculpt, or create any visual artwork, I don't want to create something from my image.

The idea that there is something that has my appearance but not me somehow scares me.

And the more similar my creation is to me, the more I fear.

Have you ever thought about something like this before?

Yeah, I also don't want to have something created in my image. More like, I just don't want to, and I'd love my creations 'speak' for me.

Edit: I love working on pictures of other people, though.

I will fool the shepherds.
I will know their greatest fear.
I will know your greatest fear.
Wake up, Joseph.
Wake up. Wake up.
Wake up. Wake up.
Wake up. Wa-

I don't know why but somehow I interpret my photo as my image and not "my creation in my image".

Perhaps that's why I am ok with it, but I don't really like to look at my photo as much as other people.

Surprisingly, Junji Ito fears the same thing. It seems he is afraid of his own recorded voice too.

Imagine someone with a fear of seeing someone created from their image being in the Mandela Catalog. I don't know if I should pity them or laugh from the irony.
