Back to All Events
While living in India, I was intrigued by the notion of reincarnation. I met some fascinating people who spoke of it matter of factly as an indisputable reality.
I wanted to somehow play out the idea and realized that I had amassed many portraits over the years. With a large stock of faces to work with, I cut out the eyes of one person and transposed them onto the torso of another. When I first landed on a perfect match it was like discovering a new personality.
In this image, the eyes belong to a woman wearing Day of the Dead makeup paired with the torso of a fashion model backstage. They seemed to fit together surprisingly well and for a time I continued discovering unlikely "fits" with one person over another.
