Description
The starting point for this work was the experience of seeing the woman’s face in a post-er. It’s an image of beauty brining together the pensive face and the classic flower shape. The making decision to introduce the flower create a boundary to seeing the face. This emulates boundaries in human interaction and the gesture, which could seem coy in oth-er situations, gives a disconcerting physical manifestation to the feeling of being guarded or protective over your internal emotions. This is the first of three coming from the source image. This one has a consistent interference, almost like a curtain or veil that obstructs the view of the face and flower, creating distance and separation between the viewer and the person in the photograph.
