faces
We present our face to the world every day but what others see rarely tells the entire story. In a society that has taught us to minimize how we feel to preserve other's feelings, faces is unapologetically loud. This multimedia collection of poetry and makeup artistry embraces the bold, complex, and chaotic emotions we sort through on a daily basis. The rosy-hued highs of romantic and platonic love. The tangled thread of thoughts that fill our mind when spending time in isolation. The pain that comes with anxiety in the work place, in our bodies, and in our country. And so the list goes. This collection contrasts the vulnerability of our inner most sentiments with the ferocity and fearlessness that makeup can provide. Each poem is paired with a photo that is the visual personification of the words written. Memory becomes metaphor and mascara. Tears become ink on the page and ink on the skin. We become the face that we decide to paint. Welcome to faces.
