THEME

FACES #metamorphosis
The face is more than the lifelike reproduction of the person portrayed. The face is subject to constant change through expression and facial expressions and even in minimalist representation we look for the individual characteristics and personality of the depicted.
It shows captured snapshots of stories about lust, revenge, passion, family dramas, striving for power – it is the surface we show to the outside world and the most communicative part of the human body.
It combines the individuality and identity of man compressed into a small area of physical human appearance and stands for itself.
The face is subject to uninterrupted metamorphosis. (Elisabeth Rass, 2022)
