Herself, 2010

Body collage

In the early days of social media, the idea of having your images displayed publicly on Facebook was a relatively new one. This collage is made using photos of the model from birth to current age. She is naked beneath the images and my intention was to examine how viewers felt when staring at the photos, given that normally it is not acceptable to stare at a nearly naked person in close proximity. I wished to highlight the public-private tension created by Facebook, and question the way we have begun to accept the scrutiny of each others photos.
