Self-Face Experiments | Art Project

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 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!
