I am fascinated by the extent to which the cultivated identities we project align with public perception. With this project, I hope to show how our most careful calculations of identity can easily become exercises in tolerance and adaptability. More than 600 individuals willingly abandoned their usual appearances, messing up their hair and starring insanely into the camera, in favor of embellished poses that emphasize the strange and uncomfortable. By assembling this large-scale amalgam of 300 transmuted egos and faces in a public setting, my intent is to show how our perceptions can clash with reality, especially in how we regard those outside the mainstream of society.
