fragmented smile

Fragmented Smiles is a handcrafted photo collage that delves into the disjointed nature of human expression in an era where identity is often pieced together from fragmented images. The black-and-white, halftone aesthetic enhances the vintage feel, drawing attention to how we curate and reconstruct our emotions and faces in the digital age. By juxtaposing eyes and mouths in cropped and rearranged forms, the collage emphasizes the disconnect between genuine emotion and the artificial smiles we present to the world, challenging viewers to consider the authenticity of their own expressions.
