Identity
"The Explorer" Cardboard, Elastic, Mirror, Black Duct Tape For this project, I created a mask to represent my "identity." Having it cover my face makes it less about what I look like and more about who I am. Being a photographer, I originally tried to make a camera lens and was going to make an actual lens out of plastic, but through my process I chose to make something less literal. I chose to switch out the plastic lens with a small circular mirror. I feel like doing this made my images more powerful and definitely made the circular shape stand out. After putting these images together, I also realized it looks like an alien wandering around a new world. I really like this idea since I'm still trying to figure out who I am and what I want to be in my world. While researching for this project, I found that I was mostly inspired by photographers such as Sally Mann and Francesca Woodman. They take on a moody black and white aesthetic...
