Distilling Thoughts VII
Part of my final project for my analogue class entitled 'Distilling Thoughts: an investigation into genres'.
We had to look into a specific genre of photography and 'warp' it, somewhat. I chose portraiture.
My work investigates the insecurities we all possess. Through concealing the face of subjects, the people presented lose fragments of their identity. My main motive behind the action of concealing their faces is to expose the fact that we all have faults and fears which we wish to hide from society and those who are particularly close to us. We all have things to be ashamed of and sometimes we try to fool ourselves and we let things slip and allow people to see beyond our 'veil'.
