Aface on me

My project, Aface on me, is concerned with the alternate faces that we wear within our everyday lives. We as a social species engage with others not as ourselves but as a character we have invented for our specific needs. We do this unconsciously; we change ourselves to fit in and conform with the people around us, a different face for every emotion and situation, we hide behind a mask of our own creation because we are afraid to be ourselves around others for fear of rejection. I create faces based on my own from plaster to represent these metaphorical masks we create for ourselves. I do this in the hope of bringing the viewers’ attention to any false persona they may wear in their everyday lives and that they might reflect on the idea of being their true selves rather than their idea of themselves when interacting with others.
