About Faceexamines femininity, beauty, and objectification by focusing on a woman's hand holding chrome Mylar mirrors, which reflect the viewer, set against a rich, shimmery burgundy wine marbled background. Isolated facial features appear occasionally, reminding the observer of how we focus on certain aspects of ourselves rather than the whole being.
The design elements appear to float as we digitally print white ink behind the hands to keep them in the foreground, while the metallic nature of the rest of the print recedes to the background.
