one of my biggest fears, is that i will never really be known, that there is nobody out there who truly understands what i'm about.

the concept at first was going to be about claustrophobia, but once it was done, i figured the image is a more accurate reflection of how i see myself in the world.

i told my friends today about this idea, and all but one told me i was weird, i don't think it's about being weird or not, photography to me is my way of expressing myself, through unusual, different ways. i see the world differently, i don't think it's fair that i should be labelled weird for that.

yes this is me, and yes... i did paper mache my head. and yes, it was terrifying.

texture is from lostandtaken.com







- DD!!!! I'm stunned, I have never had one of these! Thank you so much to everyone who has taken the time to view my work, it is greatly appreciated. :)

Wow. How did you paper mache your own head? How did you take pictures of it when you were done?

A lot of time and patience! I put a plastic bag over my head to protect my hair (Not a whole bag, otherwise i'd suffocate!) and then I covered everything in paper mache except for a small breathing hole for my nose, and a tiny slit for an eye. (both of which I photoshopped out). And as for taking the photograph, my camera was on a tripod and I used a remote control.

Sorry for the mini essay! :)

I actually appreciate the detailed explanation. Thanks for taking the time to write it. Your piece is very unique, especially because you did it without anyone's help. I can't imagine how uncomfortable that is to paper mache your face and then to take it all off when the project is over. Oww.
