I have observed multiple cultures and the beautification rituals performed to make individuals become aware of external physical beauty. Always trying to find the one whose empty stare appears indifferent to communication beyond the lens.
For some it means irreverence, for others it’s the critical end result outweighing dangerous consequences. True beauty, shaped by surrounding cultures, is in the eye of the beholder.
These un-self conscious expressions are representation of the genuine portrait and the inspiration for my series Eternity.
