Internet Project - Masked Portrait

This was my final piece of work for this project. It was an experimental piece I was making that I found just worked. It’s more based on my body image concept then any of the rest of my pieces. My idea behind this piece is to show a mask, something that every one of us wears. Here I used Photoshop, to add in the Snapchat images of my sister, over a previously created image. I was trying to achieve a sense that the Snapchat images, are the mask she lets the outside world see, whether its to a group of people or to just one person. Then behind it, you see this innocent girl, looking emotionless, isolated, as if she doesn't know if she fits within the standards of today’s society. I didn't block some of the words as they represent a part of her that not many people see, but also represent many women, how they feel in today’s world.
