"I feel I'm anonymous in my work. When I look at the pictures, I never see myself; they aren't self-portraits. Sometimes I disappear"

This quote by Cindy Sherman talks to the concept of privacy in her work. She is recommending that when she looks at her photos, she does not see herself in them. This might be translated as her wishing to remain anonymous in her work, to not be related to the images she creates. She is recommending that she vanishes in her work, that her identity is not present in the images she creates. This might be seen as a method for her to explore various identities and ideas without being connected to any among them. It could also be seen as a method for her to reveal her own identity without needing to be straight connected with it. By staying anonymous in her work, she is able to explore various concepts and identities without being tied to any one of them.
