Short Description
It´s very easy to avoid our feelings and get stagnated in the flow of social media, where everything seems “perfect”. Being “positive” for no reason, without really doing the internal work, will take us nowhere. This image represents the different faces we use to avoid showing how we really feel and avoid being vulnerable.
Process
Most of the time I want to reflect any kind of emotions, difficulties or problems in life through my designs. For me the most important thing is to connect with people, through deep but simple explanations and visuals. My images have to be powerful, charged with energy. For me, textures are really important, I planned everything around them. Colors and lightning are not less important, they give the final touches to my designs.
Talking about this particular piece, It has many variants. Some of them change on color or on the number of happy faces, but all of them have the same meaning.
