Hey there!
In the upcoming posts, I’ll share some works from a recent project of mine, titled ‘Self-Face Experiments’, which is crucially based on Facial Perception and Identity. It consists of a series of digital assemblages onto self-portraits, which explores the possibilities of human visual perception.
As an extension to my undergraduate research on Pareidolia in Art (perceiving random patterns as faces), I also explored the varied possibilities of human facial perception. I used my face/personality as a specimen to explore and experiment on facial identity enquiring the fragility and impermanence to perceive and recognize a face-form by manipulating it.
This project sprouted during the jarring period of quarantine as a result of the Pandemic 😷
The isolation diminished all the world around me and that led me to explore more about myself, my appearance, my identity and my character. Throughout the process, I got to know those layers of my persona that I had never felt before.
You can call this a narcissistic view of the 'material self', as I really got obsessed with clicking selfies and showing some self-love in a new way.

Well, in terms of this work, I fused my project Pareidolic Visions with the original work SFE-32. This too, like my other works, went intuitively. I stumbled across a textured ink wash brush in Fresco, used it over the preliminary visual and went on exploring its 'texture'

This is the latest original visual from the SELF-FACE EXPERIMENTS series, which I further used for this process.
The photo of a floor duster and the form I extracted from it
Same form collaged on one of my profile faces.
The thing I was rejoiced about were those 'Hidden' faces! They just turned up like Magic!
I carved out the face of a fawn's character from the Chronicles of Narnia first movie. Can you guess which one it could be?
I'm in love with the texture of this brush!
Anyway...
More in the upcoming posts...
Stay tuned for the next post! 😉😎
