I began with portraits but wanted to explore facial expressions in depth. Working with Photoshop allowed me to produce my ideas and morph expressions in a surreal way. Expressions can encapsulate a feeling, opinion, mood, emotion, sentiment, sensation or passion. People can find it difficult to express themselves visually and verbally and often ‘make faces’ as a way to try to fit into their surroundings. In my works, people are creating their expressions in a unique way.
