A Thousand Faces
A Thousand Faces is a fine art portrait project. It is also a journey for me to seek those different egos that hide beneath the hard shell I built for myself during all these years.
Since the beginning of the project, I have been seeking the power of symbols for help. I always believe that our ancestors created symbols for a reason, and it has been buried in the dust of history and forgotten by us.
Each image represents a symbol that I am convinced has a deep connection with humans. Rather than saying that I chose the symbols, it is better to say that the symbols spoke to me and struck a chord. Most of the symbols in my project came from nature, but some of them stem from myths or legends. I was amazed when I found the similarities that connect us to those creatures that seem so different than us.
Please join me on this magical journey, and find your faces among thousands.

entry description
Being raised as a tomboy, I was taught to be tough when facing challenges. Thus, I got used to being independent and standing on my own. However, from time to time, I would want to be weak and to rely on others. That’s when I realized people are individuals that are full of contradictions.A Thousand Faces is a fine art portrait project.
